← GeographyWhich consequence results when enhanced rainwater acidity affects karst regions?
A)Accelerated subsurface void formation arises✓
B)Increased silicon concentration of regional soils
C)Reduced aluminum solubility in waterways
D)Depletion of feldspar deposits accelerates rapidly
💡 Explanation
Increased acidity enhances the dissolution of calcium carbonate in limestone regions; this chemical weathering, known as carbonation, accelerates formation of subsurface voids because acid breaks down the rock, rather than altering soil composition, therefore increasing subsurface collapses.
