MJ CAVE HUNGARY : THE STORY OF THE CAVE
Excerpt: The cave is a good example of modern phreatic hypogenic caves, since it has been formed by mixing corrosion below the water table. Mixing corrosion occurs where flow systems of different orders (with different chemistry and temperature) meet via tectonic lines or through diffusion. Besides the tectonic control, the network maze of cave passages follows the south-southwestward dip of the Upper Eocene limestone and marl.
The scientists regularly analyze water samples and map the pattern of water flow inside the cave. Research of the species is an exciting field as well. They found 3 species of them in the the cave, and there are two Amphipoda one Isopioda and one Neotaenioglossa species.
The Molnar Janos cave is a protected area since 1982.
