00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:03.950
- So we've heard the
terms, caves, caverns.

2
00:00:03.950 --> 00:00:06.620
I have a question of what is a cenote,

3
00:00:06.620 --> 00:00:08.700
and how do they form?

4
00:00:08.700 --> 00:00:10.140
- That's a good one, I'll take it.

5
00:00:10.140 --> 00:00:12.660
- Bring it on.
(group laughs)

6
00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:15.940
- Cenotes are usually found
in the Yucatan Peninsula

7
00:00:15.940 --> 00:00:19.040
in Mexico, and they are depressions.

8
00:00:19.040 --> 00:00:23.420
So they're large depression,
where the roof of the cave

9
00:00:23.420 --> 00:00:25.580
had collapsed, and they have steep walls,

10
00:00:25.580 --> 00:00:29.020
and usually they have
water inside the cenotes.

11
00:00:29.020 --> 00:00:32.100
And you have fresh water
that is going to flow

12
00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:35.360
into the ocean where you have salt water.

13
00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:38.930
So that's a cenote, and it's a Mayan word.
