Περίληψη

Αυτή η εργασία αποτελεί ανασκόπηση των τραβερτινικών σπηλαίων με βάση την διαθέσιμη βιβλιογραφία και επιχειρεί να παρουσιάσει τις διεργασίες σχηματισμού και την ταξινόμησή τους. Από τη διερεύνηση του θέματος προκύπτει ότι υπάρχουν σπήλαια σε τραβερτίνη είτε με πρωτογενή χαρακτήρα, είτε με δευτερογενή. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι έχουν δημιουργηθεί ταυτόχρονα ή μετέπειτα από τη δημιουργία του πετρώματος που τα περιβάλλει, αντίστοιχα. Επιπλέον, έχουν αναφερθεί και μικτές δομές σπηλαίων με πιο πολύπλοκη εξέλιξη. Ο αριθμός των μελετών για τα σπήλαια αυτά, φαίνεται ότι είναι σχετικά μικρός αν και η γεωγραφική εξάπλωσή τους είναι σημαντική, εφόσον η μόνη ήπειρος που δεν έχει τραβερτινικά σπήλαια είναι η Ανταρκτική. Τα ευρήματα διαφόρων κλάδων των επιστημών στα σπήλαια αυτά (π.χ. παλαιοντολογία) τα καθιστούν σημαντικές θέσεις έρευνας. Επιπλέον μελέτες, χρειάζονται για την ευστάθεια των υπόγειων δομών από τραβερτίνη. Επίσης, πολλά από αυτά αποτελούν σημαντικούς γεώτοπους και συμβάλλουν στη γεωτουριστική ανάπτυξη.

This thesis reviews the travertine caves based on available literature and attempts to present their formation and classification processes. The investigation of the subject reveals that there are travertine caves either primary or secondary. This means that they have been created at contemporaneously with or after the formation of the surrounding rock, respectively. In addition, mixed cave structures with more complex evolution have been reported. The number of studies on these caves seems to be relatively small, although their geographical distribution is significant, as the only continent without travertine caves is Antarctica. The findings of various disciplines of science in these caves (e.g. paleontology) make them important research sites. Special studies are needed for the stability of underground travertine structures. Many of them are also important geosites and contribute significantly to geotourism.
