Water is one of the best solvents we have. It is also chemically reactive. When moving it is powerful hydraulic force. To top this off hot water is even mote chemically active.This results in water containing hydrogen sulphide, sulphate and carbon dioxide reacting with rocks it encounters in its passage through rock strata reacting rocks like limestone to dissolve them. The weakened rocks break up under the hydraulic pressure to leave th apparent rock. These bits might include either the reactive rock or included bits of non-reactive rock.
Finally when the rock emerges to the cooler layers near the Earth's surface it cools. The cooling reduces the amount of dissolved material it can contain ant the materials precipitate out as solids containing carbonates, sulphates, and other materials as well as a dissolved burden in equilibrium with the new temperature.
