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.

The Maquoketa Caves in Iowa were formed millions of years ago by the dissolution of the local bedrock, primarily dolomite, by groundwater. Over time, this erosion process created the unique cave systems and features that are now part of the Maquoketa Caves State Park.
Caves are formed by rainwater dissolving away limestone or sandstone.
Sea caves are formed when powerful ocean waves erode weak rock formations along coastal areas, creating hollow cavities in the cliffs and shorelines. These caves are often enlarged over time by the continuous force of the waves.
Yarrangobilly Caves were formed by the dissolving of limestone by acidic groundwater over millions of years. The caves contain various formations such as stalactites, stalagmites, and columns created by the deposition of minerals from dripping water. The underground chambers were ultimately carved out by the slow erosion process of water flowing through the limestone bedrock.
No. Most caves are formed out of limestone making that false.
Wookies live in trees, not caves.
The Maquoketa caves in Iowa were formed through years of natural non-glacial erosion.

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.
Erosional caves are formed by the action of water or wind.
Other way round! Water and/or air are in caves.:-) Most of the world's caves have formed / are forming in limestone.
Karst caves, and it is the majority of caves; formed by acidic ground-water dissolving the limestone.
They - or it? - are normal karst caves, formed in limestone by its dissolution by water. I believe they still carry a stream: if so they are still forming.
The two features formed by underground weathering are caves and caverns. Caves are natural underground chambers typically formed in limestone, while caverns are larger caves that often have unique formations such as stalactites and stalagmites.
