In Virginia, water has eroded underground areas of limestone to form large 2 points caves and caverns. The water must have carbon dioxide to wear away the limestone. The carbon dioxide is necessary to raise the temperature of the water so it will flow even in the winter reduce friction and make the water flow faster form a weak acid in the water that reacts with the limestone to dissolve it allow bacteria to grow and attack the limestone
