A solution cave is a type of cave formed primarily through the process of chemical weathering, particularly the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, gypsum, or salt. As acidic water seeps through cracks in these rocks, it gradually dissolves the material, creating voids and passageways. Over time, this process can lead to the development of extensive cave systems, characterized by features such as stalactites and stalagmites formed from mineral deposits. Solution caves are often found in karst topography, where the landscape is shaped by the dissolution of soluble bedrock.
