Do you mean "How do caves form"?
For a start the adjective is superfluous. Caves ARE underground by definition!
The vast majority of the world's caves are in limestone upland where the depth of the individual beds and the tension-joint structures within the rock, together with surface topography and drainage (of rain and snow-melt), combine to permit initial movement of water from sink to rising (spring) though the joints and bedding-planes, faults and other discontinuities.
Limestone is soluble in ground-water, thanks to slight acidification from rain absorbing atmospheric carbon-dioxide as it falls, and over time the initial conduits enlarge, start to capture each other and eventually create stream-courses - cave passages.
Othe rocks can hold caves:
Lava tubes under basalt lava flood develop when still-molten lava flows from under the cooled and solidified crust.
Sandstone in deserts can hold rock-shelters scoured out by wind-blown sand.
Sea-caves: simply erosion features in cliffs subject to wave action and sub-aeriel weathering.
Talus "caves": somewhat stretching the point, these are cavities between fallen boulders and their source mountain-side of sea-cliff.
Mass-movement caves (aka gulls / gull-caves, slip-rifts): fissures created behind valley walls and sea-cliffs by the outer "skin" of rock translated by mass-movement creep.
No, subsidence is typically caused by the collapse of underground materials such as soil and rock, rather than flooding caves. Flooding caves may contribute to erosion of underground materials, but it is not a direct cause of subsidence.
Underground erosion can form caves, sinkholes, and underground rivers. Deposition can result in formations such as stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstone.
Two features formed by underground weathering are caves and sinkholes. Caves are formed by the dissolution of limestone or other soluble rocks, creating underground chambers and passages. Sinkholes are depressions in the ground that form when the roof of an underground cavern collapses.
Groundwater can dissolve minerals in the rock over time, creating underground cavities as the water flows through the rock. The dissolved minerals are carried away by the water, leaving void spaces that eventually form into caves. Over long periods of time, erosion and deposition can also help shape these formations into the caves we see today.
The two features formed by underground weathering are caves and caverns. Caves are natural underground chambers typically formed in limestone, while caverns are larger caves that often have unique formations such as stalactites and stalagmites.
Tautology. that's what it means. Caves are underground by definition!

they form near flood lains
As weathering erodes limestone underground, it can form caves, sinkholes, and underground rivers. Over time, the chemical reactions between water and limestone can result in the dissolution and reshaping of the rock into unique structures and landscapes.
Underground limestone caves form through the chemical weathering of limestone rock by water that is slightly acidic. Over time, this process dissolves the rock and creates caverns and passageways underground. Factors such as the presence of cracks and fissures in the limestone, as well as the flow of water, contribute to the formation of these caves.
Caves tend to be underground, you know. They are shy.... Yes there are. Try "caves in Switzerland" in Google or equivalent.

Connected caves are called cave systems. These systems occur when several cave passages interconnect and form a complex network of underground tunnels and chambers.
ALL caves are underground by definition. It's where they are! :-)
the moon is not like earth. so there are not any underground caves. it a solid!! duh. Updated answer Since the moon is considered to be part of the Earth and there are caves on Earth. Why cant there be caves on the moon.
