Most caves are thought to form near the water table (the surface below which all open space in rock is filled with water) , and thus the openings are initially filled with water.

Most caves are formed by slightly acidic groundwater seeping through cracks and dissolving limestone. Obviously, a cave would be filled with water during its early life, and may become completely dry to continue to have wet and even flooded areas as it ages. I've been in both dry and wet caves in NM.

Its due to the melting of ice,that covered ,above seeping down Thur the surface,and as the sea level falls,yes it falls because the water turns to ice at the poles,mountains of ice,the caves empty to the point the water reaches sea level.if the cave is higher than sea level ,it wont contain water.

Because most caves were created from water errosion.
If the cave were man made, the water inside could be condensation from the workers or from any water source that could have been inside the rock itself

Because they're usually formed by water. It's basic erosion of soft material, leaving behind the hard rock walls.

l think that's why they were made, thousands of years with water moving around inside.

It depends on where the water table is
