How the caves are formed in limestone regions ?
Answers
"In early days, the caves are formed by dissolution of limestone. The rainwater or running water stream absorbs the "carbon dioxide" from the "air" and water drains through the soil, and makes it as a weak acid, which dissolves lime stone and over coarse time of deposition caves are formed.
