∙ 16y agoAcid water can react with minerals in rocks, causing them to dissolve or weather more rapidly. This process, known as chemical weathering, can lead to the deterioration and breakdown of rocks over time. Acid water can primarily affect rocks containing minerals like calcite, limestone, or marble.

Limestone does not have a parent rock.
Limestone, limestone everywhere.
Limestone and marble rocks are most affected by acid rain because they contain calcium carbonate, which reacts with acid rain (sulfuric acid and nitric acid) to form soluble compounds that dissolve easily. This process leads to the erosion and deterioration of the rocks over time.
The breakdown of rocks results in the formation of soil over many thousands of years.
limestone rocks are igneous.

The levels of erosion are typically categorized into three main types: 1) physical/mechanical erosion, which involves the physical breakdown of rocks and minerals; 2) chemical erosion, which involves the chemical breakdown and alteration of rocks and minerals; and 3) biological erosion, which involves the erosion caused by living organisms. Each type can contribute to the overall process of erosion in different ways.
The rocks found in most caves are typically sedimentary rocks such as limestone, shale, and sandstone. These types of rocks are more susceptible to erosion by water, which is a common process in cave formation. Additionally, sedimentary rocks often contain minerals that are easily dissolved by water, leading to the creation of cave features like stalactites and stalagmites.
