← GeographyWhich condition accelerates karst landscape development by leaching?
A)Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels✓
B)Abundant silicates in surface soils
C)Prevalence of metamorphic bedrock types
D)Decreased groundwater table fluctuation rate
💡 Explanation
Increased atmospheric CO2 enhances carbonic acid formation in rainwater, therefore it acidifies the percolation, accelerating carbonate dissolution; it is chemical weathering, rather than physical. Silicates are resistant to it, rather than soluble.
