Carlsbad Caverns is primarily formed by dissolution, a type of chemical weathering, of the limestone bedrock by acidic groundwater. This process creates the spectacular caves and caverns found in the area.
Chemical weathering, particularly when acidic water dissolves and erodes the rock, can create caves or caverns over time. This process is common in limestone regions where the rock is easily dissolved by carbonic acid found in rainwater.
Freeze-thaw weathering occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and creates pressure that can cause the rock to fracture or break apart. This process is common in regions with climates that experience freezing temperatures.
Chemical weathering
Karst topography is created by chemical weathering, specifically by the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone and dolomite. This process forms features like sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage systems.

well it is very hard to break up bedrock, but the main process that does is weathering. You have two seperit kinds of weathering. The first one is Chemical Weathering. Chemical weathering is when weathering effects the exterior. two examples are rust and leaching. The second type of weathering is Mechanical Weathering. This effects rocks physically. two examples are abrasion and erosion.SO THE MAIN ANSWER WOULD BE WEATHERING. THE TYPE OF WEATHERING, MECHANICAL WEATHERING, THE PROCESS, ABRASION (well there is more than that but that is the most common situation)
Physical weathering, such as cracks, creates more surface area for chemical weathering to occur on.

The physical weathering and chemical weathering process creates Karst topography and landscapes. Caves and Caverns are common of Karst topography.
Physical Weathering (aka Mechanical Weathering) is the main type of weathering in deserts.

A process called weathering
Physical weathering.
The type of chemical weathering associated with the formation of stalagmites and stalactites is called carbonation. This process occurs when rainwater combines with carbon dioxide in the air and forms a weak carbonic acid, which dissolves limestone and creates the structures in caves over time.
