Most caves are in limestone, which is slightly soluble in rain-water acidified by carbon-dioxide absorbed from the atmosphere. This weak "carbonic acid" corrodes the limestone as it flows through the rock's joints, bedding-planes and faults fromsinks to risings (springs).
There are other caves formed in other ways, such as lava-tubes and mass-movement fissures.
Oh - and by definition caves are underground - you don't need the adjective!

Caverns are typically formed through a process known as karstification, where groundwater dissolves soluble rocks like limestone and carbonate rocks over time. This dissolution, along with other factors such as erosion and tectonic forces, can create underground cavities and passageways that eventually turn into caverns.
How are caverns and sinkholes related?
Caves are underground. They are big long holes underground. Sometimes, for some unknown reason, the roof of the cave can no longer support the weight of the ground above it and the ground collapses down into the cave. The land sinks. It fills the hole. Where there was a cave, there is now solid ground. Where there was land, there is now a big hole. So, you have a sinkhole when the roof of a cave collapses.
