How are limestone gorges formed?

Limestone gorges are formed through the process of erosion, primarily by the action of water. Rainwater, which is slightly acidic due to dissolved carbon dioxide, seeps into cracks and fissures in the limestone, gradually dissolving the rock. Over time, this chemical weathering, combined with physical erosion from flowing rivers, carves out deep valleys, creating gorges. The continuous flow of water enhances the erosion process, deepening and widening the gorge over thousands of years.
