Cave Corrasional or erosional caves are those that form entirely by erosion by flowing streams carrying rocks and other sediments. These can form in any type of rock, including hard rocks such as granite. Generally there must be some zone of weakness to guide the water, such as a fault or joint.aves form naturally by the weathering of rock and often extend deep underground. The word cave can also refer to much smaller openings such as sea caves, rock shelters, and grottos. Speleology is the science of exploration and study of all aspects of caves and the cave environment.

Erosional Caves Image: a so called dolly tub, formed by the flowing water, and connected to the next dolly tub by a deep and narrow canal. Erosion is generally the process of weathering for rocks. However, this geologic term is used in speleology in a slightly different meaning, which has historic reasons.The first cave explorers saw cave rivers, which were rather similar to subsurface rivers, gorges and erosions as known before.So they interpreted the caves as a result of the erosion of underground streams.owever, this geologic term is used in speleology in a slightly different meaning, which has historic reasons.

- Caves and their features form when rainwater follows the cracks or joints in the rock material, usually limestone or dolomite. The rainwater combined with carbon dioxide forms a weak acid called carbonic acid. This weak acid once in contact with the limestone begins to dissolve the limestone. This process slowly creates larger and larger crack and joints.

Cave Solutional caves or karst caves are the most frequently occurring caves. Such caves form in rock that is soluble; most occur in limestone, but they can also form in other rocks including chalk, dolomite, marble, salt, and gypsum. Rock is dissolved by natural acid in groundwater that seeps through bedding planes, faults, joints, and comparable features.
