En este trabajo, se estudia la influencia de las presiones negativas del Flashing y la Cavitación en la formación de “scallops” en cuevas kársticas. En este sentido, se analiza el caso particular de la Cueva de los Chorros (Albacete, España) y se propone la teoría del sifón inverso para explicar el fenómeno del “Reventón”.

The influence of the negative pressures of Cavitation and Flashing phenomena in the formation of “scallops”, within karstic caves, is hereby studied. In this sense, the particular case of the Chorros Cave (Albacete, Spain) is analyzed, and the theory of the inverse siphon is proposed in order to explain the “Reventón” phenomenon.
