AUDRA, Philippe, Polytech'Nice-Sophia, Engineering School of Nice - Sophia Antipolis University, 1645 route des Lucioles, biot 06410 France, audra@unice.fr

The hypogenic cave pattern reflects the speleogenetical processes. Processes vary according to the depth in the aquifer, involving mixing corrosion by convergent flux and with meteoric water, cooling, sulfur oxidation, carbon dioxide degassing, and condensation-corrosion. Cave patterns are Isolated geodes, 2D and 3D multistorey following joints and bedding planes, Giant phreatic shaft, Water table mazes, Isolated chambers, Upwardly dendritic spheres, Water table cave, Smoking shafts
