All except lava-tubes, which result from lava draining from under the solidified crust of a lava flow. Most are in limestone, soluble in water acidified by carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere (chemical weathering).

What happens when caves are formed?

Caves are typically formed through a process known as erosion, where water and chemicals gradually break down the rock, creating hollow spaces underground. Over time, the combination of erosion and tectonic activity can lead to the creation of cave systems. These formations can vary greatly in size and complexity, and often contain unique geological features such as stalactites and stalagmites.

How lime- stones caves formed?

Limestone caves are formed through a process called chemical weathering. Rainwater, which is slightly acidic, dissolves the limestone rock over time, creating small cracks. These cracks then widen as more water flows through, eventually forming caves. Additionally, some limestone caves are formed through the erosion of underground rivers.
