Groundwater causes erosion by dissolving minerals in rocks, leading to the formation of caves and sinkholes. This occurs primarily through the action of carbonic acid found in groundwater. Additionally, groundwater contributes to deposition by leaving behind minerals as it slows down, forming stalactites and stalagmites in caves.
