By dissolving the walls of the existing tension-joints in the limestone.
The characteristic grid formation of sculpted limestone blocks separated by deep, narrow gullies is called Limestone Pavement; the blocks are the Clints, the gaps that mark out the joints are the Grykes. (My own mnemonic is "Grykes grin"!)

How are Clints and grikes form?
By chemical weathering leaving gaps in the limestone (grykes) and slabs of rock outside them (Clints)
How is Clint rock formed?
Clints are formed by chemical weathering. This leaves gaps in the limestone, and slabs of rock outside them, which are called clints.
What is bad about limestone?
Some problems are: 1. Dust pollution: the surrounding greenery is covered in a layer of dust 2. Noise pollution: loud explosions every day 3. Lorries carrying limestone to and fro cause noise and pollution 4. Quarries damage the landscape 5. Quarries destroy natural animal habitats etc etc.
How do water gaps and canyons and valleys form?
small stuff
What substance can enter into gaps between the grains in limestone?
i dunno to eb honest. btw sorry for upsetting you as i dont know the question myself.but i just tryed this

Why does chemical weathering cause gaps in limestone?
Because different parts of the sedimentary rock have characteristics that are slightly more or less susceptible to dissolving in weak acids. The dissolution takes place along the walls of tension-joints, bedding-planes and other discontinuities within the rock, that can pass the water through th formation to a suitable outlet (spring). If you look at limestone "pavement" you will see it is etched into a criss-cross pattern of "grykes" - deep trenches - along the joints.
How did the gaps on the periodic table help scientists look for undiscovered elements?
The gaps estimated their chemical properties.The elements when discovered were found to have those properties.They were then placed in these gaps.

How do sinkholes appear?
There are a few different ways that sinkholes can form. Often, there is a layer of limestone or some other layer of water soluble material under the ground, and it is slowly dissolved by water seeping down from above. This leaves a gap and these gaps sometimes collapse.
Can a square form a tessellation pattern with no gaps?

What are the two especially important properties that Dmitri mendeleev noted about the elements?
he noted gaps in the table, and predicted that as of yet unknown elements existed with properties appropriate to fill those gaps.
What is the chemical secreted into a gap between neurons at a synapse?
There is not just one chemical secreted into synapses (the gaps between neurons); instead, there are many chemicals secreted from the terminal buttons of neurons into the synapses. They are called "neurotransmitters."
Is gaps an idea noun?
The noun 'gaps' is the plural form for the singular 'gap', which can be a concrete or an abstract noun (idea noun). Examples:concrete noun: They put up a barrier to prevent people from tripping on the gaps in the broken sidewalk.abstract noun: I lost consciousness for a minute so there are some gaps in my memory.
