I would have thought you would have to move a large amount of rock to make much difference
Is this a through flow ie coming from another exit ? or don't you know?
As I understand it airflow can relate to weather conditions, more specifically whether there is a change between a high and low pressure system above the cave.
A high pressure system fills the cave full of air (at the higher pressure) when a low pressure system comes along that air has to get out hence the cave blows. If it was the other way around the cave would be sucking ie a low pressure system then a high pressure system.
It is not only because of this you get air flow but it could be a contributing factor.
In some of the caves around here the above helps disperse and mix up the CO2 in the caves so we can go visit them again.
