现在分词短语用法疑惑

Limestone is one of the best materials for cave formation because the rock is soluble, meaning water will dissolve it.

请问老师:

现在分词短语 meaning water will dissolve it 在句子中做什么成分?修饰前面的句子 the rock is soluble

可以提供类似用法的例子吗?

Limestone is one of the best materials for cave formation because the rock is soluble, meaning water will dissolve it.

参考译文:石灰岩是形成洞穴的最佳材料之一,因为岩石是可溶解的,这意味着水会溶解它。

解答:meaning water will dissolve it 为现在分词短语作结果状语,现在分词逻辑主语为前面原因状语从句的“整句话内容:即“ the rock is  soluble".相当于一个非限制性定语从句, The rock is soluble , which means water will dissolve it .(备注it指代rock, which指代 the rock is soluble)

为了弄懂这个问题,先看一个简单例子:

motion sb. to sth.: to make a gesture to sb. showing what you want them to do, where they should go.etc.

to make a gesture to sb. showing what you want them to do, where they should go. etc.都是解释motion sb.to sth(用手势示意某人)的含义,分两层来解释,第一层用to make a gesture to sb(用手势示意某人),接下来再用分词短语再对to make a gesture to sb解释,扩展,说明。

我们再来看Limestone is one of the best materials for cave formation(大意是:石灰石是形成洞穴的最佳材料之一)为啥?

同样分两层来解释第一层用 because the rock is soluble(因为岩石是可溶解的),接下来再用分词短语对soluble解释,扩展,说明,“可溶解的”的含义就是water will dissolve it.(水会溶解它)从语法结构上作状语,修饰,说明soluble的。
