I suspect some of it is above the water table (as I already said) but it would not be drawing fresh air in through cracks if the water level is rising.
[quote=kellory Neither does the fact that the available volume of air MUST shrink as the water advances, unless, of course the walls of the cave are made of rubber and just keep expanding like a giant balloon) which of course is ridiculous.
Ever use a water level? If the ends are blocked, it's useless. The water displaces the air and seeks it's own level, always. But you never get more air into the water level, unless the water recedes, or unless pressure of one type or another is applied to one end. For water to enter either level or tunnel, air is displaced. (It is pushed out) so fresh air is not coming in, as long as water is rising. (The airflow is AWAY from the water)[/quote]
Nobody wrote anything even remotely this stupid in any article.
You've not been inconsistent. You've been a moron the whole way through.
But it was remarkably honest for you to admit your only knowledge came from the article.
And citin some article wrote outta Thailand, and edited through the AP, don't grant you no spontaneous credibility.
If you'd simply relied on your nonexistent knowledge of the subject and remained an observer, none of this would be happening to you.
