These . fractures are where the water seeps in, dissolves the rock, and forms caves.. Chemical Weathering. Jade,McKaylin,Atavia,Hayley. Key terms . Cavern. A large cave that may consist of many smaller connecting chambers.. Sinkhole. a circular depression that forms at the surface when rock dissolves, sediment is removed or when caves or mines collapse. . Caves, Sinkholes, and Carbonates, Oh My!. Karst-Develops in Carbonate Rocks. Carbonic Acid= CO2 + H2O. Caves and Caverns. Formed from the chemical weathering of limestone and dolomite through carbonic acid. Cracks open and eventually widen to make a cave. . A . cave. is defined as an underground passage large enough for a person to crawl into, naturally formed, and in complete darkness.. How does a cave form?. Rain dissolves Carbon Dioxide into Carbonic acid. Karst. ?. The . land has different sized blocks of limestone which create fractures in the rock. .
