It depends on what is meant by 'holes'. Cavities in limestone may be caused by both mechanical and chemical weathering.

Do rabbits dig or find the holes?
Rabbits dig the holes that is why they have claws.....
Insects have little holes along their abdomens to take in oxygen . These holes are?
spiracles
What digs holes?
Rabbit,hamster,moles and many more animals dig holes.
Meaning of no holes barred sex?
It means that there is no limit to the body holes you can use during sex
Do penguins make holes in the ice to bury the dead penguins in?
NO they just swim in ice holes
Which is one way that mechanical weathering influences chemical weathering?
Acids in the rain create holes in the rock, which allows water to get inside for ice wedging.

Can a rock be dissolved?
Naturally speaking, the rate at which limestone dissolves depends on the amount of rainfall and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the water. Chemical weathering is the process that breaks down rock through chemical changes. The most common agents of chemical weathering include water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and living organisms. Chemical weathering creates holes or soft spots in rock, so the rock breaks apart more easily. Chemical and mechanical weathering often goes hand in hand; mechanical weathering breaks rock into pieces, exposing more surface area to chemical weathering. It someone wants to dissolve a rock manually, Hydrofluoric acid is the answer.
What causes the formation of caves chemical or mechanical weathering?
Weak acids seep into the ground until they reach a zone soaked with water. As the ground water become more acidic, it dissolves calcite and other minerals in the rock. Over time, the action of the acidic water produces holes in the rock. The holes grow, creating passages, chambers, and pits, and eventually become caves.
Why limestone is susceptible to chemical weathering?
One reason why limestone is susceptible to chemical weathering because when acid acts on the calcium carbonate in the limestone to form calcium bicarbonate which is dissolved by water, which results in pits and holes found in the limestone. Equations to represent: CaCO3 + H2O + CO2 results in Ca(HCO3)2
Chemicals in the air mix with rocks and eat away holes in them or make them crumble?
chemical weathering
What is the relasionship between carbon deoxied water limestone and sink holes?
Limestone
Is ice wedging physical weathering or chemical weathering?
Ice wedging is physical weathering. As water freezes it grows, so when water flows into cracks or holes and then freezes it causes the water to expand, which brakes apart whatever it seeped into.
Which of water's properties directly causes mechanical weathering?
Two different properties aid mechanical weathering. First, simple dissolution and subsequent precipitation of salts will help destroy rock's surface structure.And the expansion of water below -4oC causes a 'freeze-thaw' weathering as it breaks up the rock.[note, in both Roman times, and more recently in Scotland, a method of breaking large boulders was to drill a series of holes across the stone, and on a frosty night allow water in the holes to break the stone apart. A minor variant of this is to hammer dry hardwood pegs into the holes as above, and wet the surface. As the wood swells, it breaks the stone. ]
What hypothesis explains why some rocks might have holes in them?
The reason some rocks have holes in them is because of Chemical weathering. This is where slightly acidic rain falls onto the rocks and corrodes it over time.
What is a particle diagram to show biological weathering?
well.. a chemical weathering process is acid rain, so you could do a particle diagram for fizzing- reaction with acid rain. or. a physical weathering process is melting, so you could do a particle diagram for melting. hope this has helped :).
What cause sinkholes?
erosin can cause sink holes and weathering
