What is the force that carves out underground caves from limestone?
Not really a "force", more a process. Chemical weathering primarily. Some mechanical weathering and erosion in active stream passages once these have been enlarged enough to carry large volumes of water. Rainwater acidified by absorbed atmospheric carbon dioxide sinks through the joints and other discontinuities in the limestone upland's mass, dissolving the calcium carbonate that is the rock's main constituent. BTW you don't need the adjective. Caves are always underground!

Why most caves form by limestone?
Limestone is susceptible to dissolution by acidic water, which is common in most natural environments. Over time, this dissolution process carves out cavities underground, leading to the formation of caves. Additionally, limestone is a common and widespread rock type, which contributes to the prevalence of limestone caves.
How are Erosional caves formed?
Erosional caves are formed when water dissolves and carves through soluble rock formations like limestone, creating passageways and chambers underground. Over time, the continuous flow of water erodes the rock and forms distinctive cave structures. As the water table changes and the rock continues to weather, erosional caves can further evolve and change shape.
What are the two features that are formed by underground weathering?
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.
