There are models that show the development of caves under specific conditions in limestone rocks. Of course there are figures that show the formation and the development of a variety of passageways in caves. You can find all these staff in literature related with karst geomorphology.

Yes, caves are formed through various geological processes such as erosion, dissolution, and chemical weathering of rocks like limestone or gypsum. Diagrams of cave formation typically illustrate these processes, showing how water seeps through cracks in the rock, dissolves the minerals, and creates underground voids over time.

A lot of the features in caves form through the running or dripping of water. Over many years this water will leave deposits of minerals resulting in the cave's formations.

How lime- stones caves formed?

Limestone caves are formed through a process called chemical weathering. Rainwater, which is slightly acidic, dissolves the limestone rock over time, creating small cracks. These cracks then widen as more water flows through, eventually forming caves. Additionally, some limestone caves are formed through the erosion of underground rivers.
