Question

Which process is most likely responsible for the formation of limestone caves?(1 point)
Responses

carbonation

oxidation

hydrolysis

abrasion

Answer 1

The process most likely responsible for the formation of limestone caves is **carbonation**. This process occurs when carbon dioxide in the atmosphere or soil combines with water to form carbonic acid, which then reacts with limestone (calcium carbonate) to help dissolve it, leading to the creation of caves over time.
