The action that describes chemical weathering is:
**water carving out a limestone cave**
This process involves the chemical reaction between water (often acidic due to dissolved carbon dioxide) and limestone, which leads to the dissolution of the rock and the formation of caves. The other options involve physical weathering or sediment deposition, rather than chemical weathering.
