Why would it be more likely to find a cave with limestone bedrock than granite?
Limestone forms in such a way that there are often blocks, as there are cracks perpendicular to the strata. These cracks allow water to actually flow. When the water flows, it dissolves calcite from the limestone, making the crack more pronounced. Water can flow vertically and horizontally in this way. This, after many years, erodes large caverns in the rock.
