Speleology is the study of caves, especially their relationship to humanity and the environment. Caves are interesting from a variety of perspectives, as they play an integral role in the water cycle while also providing biologists with some of the most unique ecosystems on earth. Unfortunately, this diversity of information can also make the class feel intimidating for students to study. If you need a little boost to reach your academic goals in this course, Varsity Tutors can refer you to an experienced Speleology tutor.
Here are some of the concepts that you may review during college Speleology tutoring sessions:
- Cave Formation
- Underground Drainage of Water (including potential Water Contamination, Springs, and Sinking Streams)
- Karst Cave Systems
- Cave Ecosystems
- Soluble Rock Strata
- Sinkholes
Speleology tutoring sessions are flexible enough to allow you to concentrate on whatever you might need to. For example, a student who struggles with the uniqueness of the cave ecosystem can spend their study time on it. If that same student grasps Karst aquifers immediately, there may be no reason to go over them during study sessions at all. There are also no time constraints associated with Speleology tutoring, so you can take your time and achieve conceptual understanding.
