← GeographyWhich consequence occurs when localized bedrock fracturing increases?
A)Enhanced speleogenesis along fracture planes✓
B)Reduced surface infiltration into aquifers
C)Decreased calcium carbonate precipitation rates
D)Stagnation of cave atmosphere ventilation
💡 Explanation
Increased bedrock fracturing enhances speleogenesis, because it elevates groundwater access and thus limestone dissolution. This facilitates cave formation along weakness planes. Therefore, fracturing promotes cave genesis along geological features, rather than blocking infiltration in general.
