What type of weathering causes caverns to be formed?
Principally chemical as the limestone is dissolved by carbonic acid (rain-water acidified by absorbed atmospheric CO2). As the cave develops mechanical weathering of its stream-passages may contribute, by abrading the rock with sand carried in the stream.

What is an underground cave?
An underground cave is a hollow area beneath the Earth's surface that is typically formed by the erosion of rock or soil. These caves can vary greatly in size and shape and are often home to unique geological formations and ecosystems. Many underground caves are popular destinations for exploration and tourism.
What type of chemical weathering is associated with the formation of stalagtites and stalagmites?
the dripping of mineralized solutions and the deposition of calcium carbonate. The corresponding formation on the ceiling of a cave is known as a stalactite. If these formations grow together, the result is known as a column. is what happens but I think the process is called Dissolution
