What may be found where groundwater erodes limestone to form valleys sinkholes and caverns?
The question has answered itself! The generic name for such landscape is 'karst', from the Slovac name for the type-area.
Which agent of erosion forms caverns in limestone deposit?
acidic groundwater
What does groundwater naturally contain that allows it to dissolve limestone and caverns?
Carbonic Acid
What does groundwater naturally contain that allows it to dissolve limestone and form caverns?
Carbonic Acid
Which of the following is associated with areas of karst topography?
a.) Sinkholes b.) sinking streams c.) caverns d.) all of the above
What is formed by the dissolution of limestone?
caverns, sinkholes, etc.

What forms when limestone found in the earth has been eatin away?
When limestone is eaten away, it forms various features such as sinkholes, caves, and underground tunnels. This process occurs due to the dissolution of the limestone by acidic groundwater. The result is the creation of unique and sometimes expansive underground landscapes.

What the relationship between groundwater and precipitation?
In limestone and sandstone areas, especially, ground water filtering through the rock and dissolving the limestone or sandstone, creates potholes, caverns and caves.
Carbonic acid forms when carbon dioxide is absorbed into water The action of carbonic acid on may produce sinkholes caverns and formations like stalagmites?
Limestone
What cuvses caves caverns and sink holes?
Caves, caverns, and sinkholes are typically formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, or gypsum by water. Over time, water erodes and dissolves the rock, creating underground cavities and passages. Eventually, these cavities can collapse or become exposed at the surface, forming caves, caverns, and sinkholes.
How do stalactites in limestone caverns most likely form?
The limestone caverns themselves are formed by groundwater gradually dissolving the limestone rock. In this process, some of the limestone is taken into solution, and under favourable conditions, it will form a drip on the roof of a cavern. This may eventually build to form a stalactite above, and perhaps also a stalagmite below it.
What can produce sinkholes cavern and formations?
Sinkholes and caverns are formed from carbolic acid. This carbolic acid dissolves rock which creates the spaces that form the sinkholes and caverns. The carbolic acid is created when carbon dioxide dissolves in water.
