Limestone is the rock that is in Caves. When carbonate acid is reacted to the limestone in the caves, it will corrode forming strange caves landforms.

What is formed when carbon dioxide in soil dissolves in water does it help form caves or stalagmites or stalactites.?
It helps form both - though the cave comes first! The CO2 solutuion is slightly acid - carbonic acid - and this dissolves the calcium carbonate that is limestone's main constituent.

Opening formed when acid groundwater dissolves limestone?
a cave
What is the opening formed when acid groundwater dissloves limestone?
A cave or sinkhole.
The acid form of CO2 plus H2O?
The "acid" form of CO2 and H2O is H2CO3, carbonic acid.
How long does it take for a stack to form?
a long time. Acid rain and other erosion methods erode the rock to form a cave then an arch then a stack
How did the leiturgia cave form?
Sulfuric acid and gasses erodes the limestone and produces gypsum crystals over thousands of years.
How are stalagmites made?
Precipitation of calcium carbonate in its crystalline form, calcite, from solution in weakly acid ground-water from the limestone above the cave.
How does acid in groundwater form caves or caverns?
As it starts to break down all of the rock it starts to create space therefor a cave or cavern can be made.

What besides acid rain can create a cave?
A hammer.
Why do stalactites form?
Acidic ground water (rain-water that has absorbed atmospheric carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid) dissolving the limestone as it flows through the joints & other discontinuities in the rock mass. As well as forming the cave passages, the calcite held in solution may precipate on exposure to the cave air as the solution emerges from a joint in the cave roof, to develop stalactites & stalagmites.
