Limestone Caves

Limestone caves are geological formations created by the dissolution of limestone, a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate. This process, known as karstification, occurs when water, slightly acidic due to the absorption of carbon dioxide, seeps through the limestone, dissolving the calcium carbonate and forming cavities and underground passages. The formation of limestone caves involves several steps: Dissolution: Rainwater, as it infiltrates the soil, becomes enriched with carbon dioxide and becomes acidic water. This acidic water reacts with the limestone, dissolving the calcium carbonate. Cavity Creation: Over time, continued dissolution creates cavities that can expand and connect to each other, forming complex cave systems. Development of Karst Features: As caves form, stalactites (formations that hang from the ceiling) and stalagmites (that grow from the floor) may develop from the precipitation of calcium carbonate when water drips through.
