Answer:

Groundwater flows from areas with a higher water table surface to areas with a lower water table. This mixture of carbonic acid in water makes most natural surface waters slightly acidic. As slightly acidic water infiltrates the ground to become part of the groundwater system it causes weathering of the rocks.

Hope that helps! :)
