Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formation of caves starts with the dissolution of limestone below the water table, creating submerged caverns (i). As the water table drops, the water carves out channels in the limestone, leading to the formation of underground rivers (ii). As the downcutting continues and the water table drops further, the caverns become exposed in the unsaturated zone (iii). Finally, the process of stalactite and stalagmite formation begins (iv).
