How do the pores and cavities in limestone actually form?

The pores and cavities visible in limestone form primarily through dissolution by slightly acidic groundwater containing carbonic acid. Over thousands of years, water seeps through cracks and selectively dissolves calcium carbonate, enlarging voids. Biological activity, such as burrowing organisms, and pressure changes during sediment compaction also contribute to the characteristic porous structure.
