The video tutorial explores the formation and types of caves, focusing on solution caves, which are the most common. It explains how groundwater dissolves rock slowly, starting with rain droplets that form carbonic acid. This acid reacts with calcium carbonate, leading to chemical weathering and rock dissolution. The process can also occur in evaporate rocks without acidity. Over thousands of years, fractures in rocks expand, forming caves. Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, the longest cave on Earth, serves as a case study.

What role does carbonic acid play in the dissolution of rocks?
