Why do caves only form a certain type of rock?
Caves are formed by rainwater dissolving away limestone or sandstone.
Natural cavity on weak rocks formed by actions of waves?
Sea caves are formed when powerful ocean waves erode weak rock formations along coastal areas, creating hollow cavities in the cliffs and shorelines. These caves are often enlarged over time by the continuous force of the waves.
How was Yarrangobilly Caves was formed?
Yarrangobilly Caves were formed by the dissolving of limestone by acidic groundwater over millions of years. The caves contain various formations such as stalactites, stalagmites, and columns created by the deposition of minerals from dripping water. The underground chambers were ultimately carved out by the slow erosion process of water flowing through the limestone bedrock.
Do tectonic plates make caves?
Caves are formed in many ways but mostly by chemical weathering of the surface rock. Tectonic plates on the other hand are huge slabs of rock that form the Earth's crust. Caves are not formed by tectonic plates, think of caves as tiny boreholes in the very surface of a tectonic plate. I agree
What kind of rocks are in underwater caves Metamorphic Igneous or Sedimentary?
Not sure quite what you are asking about, but anyway it is more accurate to ask what kinds of rock hold the caves, not what rocks are in the caves. Most caves are in limestone, a sedimentary rock, irrespective of water-level. There are a few caves in igneous rock: lava-tubes in basalt-flows, but on land, not underwater. There are also a good many caves in marble, the metamorphic but still-soluble form of limestone; and again the water-level is secondary to the cave itself. A few caves exist in rock-salt, an evaporite.

How lime- stones caves formed?
Limestone caves are formed through a process called chemical weathering. Rainwater, which is slightly acidic, dissolves the limestone rock over time, creating small cracks. These cracks then widen as more water flows through, eventually forming caves. Additionally, some limestone caves are formed through the erosion of underground rivers.
