How are caves formed in limesone?
Briefly: Even a trace of acidity in water greatly increases the solubility of calcium carbonate (limestone). As the water flows into small cracks in the limestone, it begins to dissolve the surrounding stone and enlarge them, allowing more water to flow, which enlarges them even more. Eventually over very long time periods you get caves.
Where in the world can you find limestone and sand stone?
There are MANY places. The types can also vary greatly. For examplelime stone is quarried in Iowa. It also makes the underlying strata in Mexico south of Cancun. The stone is soft and over MANY years holes form called cynotes and caves. In England, the white cliffs of Dover are white primarily because of the limestone content. Sandstone is also a relatively soft rock. Much sandstone is located in the desert area of the Southwest US. There are some interesting rock formations formed by the wind eroding the sandstone.

What risk does liquefaction pose during an earthquakes?
Liquefaction can cause subsidence of buildings and other structures which can lead to structural damage or even collapse. It can also cause differential subsidence where one part of the ground subsided more than another. When this occurs (especially under buildings) it can cause even more structural damage than uniformly distributed subsidence and also lead to the fracture of underground services such as water and gas mains. This can lead to a greatly increased risk of fire and explosion and also can hamper the efforts to fight fire due to the damage to water mains.
