- So we've heard the terms, caves, caverns.
I have a question of what is a cenote,
and how do they form?
- That's a good one, I'll take it.
- Bring it on. (group laughs)
- Cenotes are usually found in the Yucatan Peninsula
in Mexico, and they are depressions.
So they're large depression, where the roof of the cave
had collapsed, and they have steep walls,
and usually they have water inside the cenotes.
And you have fresh water that is going to flow
into the ocean where you have salt water.
So that's a cenote, and it's a Mayan word.
