← GeographyWhich consequence results when increased atmospheric carbon dissolves into rainwater?
A)Accelerated karst landscape formation increases✓
B)Reduced global albedo warms land
C)Coastal erosion rate will stabilize
D)Decreased silicate weathering process rate
💡 Explanation
Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to carbonic acid formation in rainwater, causing accelerated dissolution of limestone features through a process of chemical weathering; therefore, karst landscapes develop more rapidly, rather than stabilizing or affecting albedo because of localized effects.
