Does weakly acid groundwater dissolves sandstone to form caves?
Weakly acidic groundwater can slowly dissolve minerals like calcite in sandstone, but it typically does not create large caves in sandstone formations.

Sandstone may exhibit some minor features like dissolution pockets or small cavities, but it is not a common host rock for the development of extensive cave systems.
