Meramec Caverns in Missouri formed over millions of years through the erosive action of groundwater dissolving the limestone bedrock to create the cave system. The slow process of acidic water dissolving the soluble rock formed the caverns, stalactites, and stalagmites that visitors see today.
The state closest to the Pacific Ocean that is almost completely drained by the Mississippi River and its tributaries is Missouri. The Mississippi River forms part of the eastern border of the state, and many of its tributaries, such as the Missouri and Meramec rivers, flow within the state, contributing to the overall drainage in the Mississippi River watershed.
