Contrary to popular assumptions, nearly all caves were likely not formed as a result of erosion from underground springs or water flows within rock (ask yourself, how does water flow within rock before any rock has eroded?), but instead were formed while the entire surface of the planet was covered with deep water and under higher pressure than today by crushing the softer strata of the crust that were the「same depth horizontally」long prior to the appearance of any land or continents. The reason humans today can see caves associated with mountains, is that under mountains some cave fill has washed out of the crushed spaces, and not washed into them from outside, causing an entranceway to appear. Where there are no mountains, there still likely are both small and large caves within the Earth's crust, and those caves remain filled with the crushed rock that once formed solid strata:
「The processes generally cited in theories of cavern formation are corrosion [erosion by abrasive action] and solution. Neither of these processes adequately explains the presence of cave fill in many caves. A new concept in cavern formation involves a possible dis-integration process due to release of former high pressure on sediments that were being elevated from depths in which they were formed. This process can account for the relationship of cavern plans to joint systems, the generally horizontal development of caves, and other characteristics besides accounting for the formation of cave fill in place. This avoids the problem of explaining how cave fill can be transported into caves from outside. Application of the ory of dis-integration to problems of origin of dome pits in caves is discussed, and the possibility of this explanation of the formation of caves in non-carbonate rocks is suggested.」

Caves have been discovered that were completely filled with crushed rock and silt, but if rapidly flowing surface water carried that silt and gravel into an empty space, how or where did the water flow enter and exit the subsequently filled cavern? would not the flow have been impeded by prior deposits, causing some empty space to always remain, if indeed erosion caused caves?
Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: name of a mountain; cave; cavern
Unihan extended: mountain in Gansu province
EDRDG: mountain in Gansu province
Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment
(see 籒 for that)
and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language.
If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system.
Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is!
Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up.
No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else.
This site describes glyph meanings, not people.
These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect.
The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language?
(More...)
Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?
By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs,
you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary.
This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
