← GeographyWhich consequence results when increased organic acid production occurs within cave stream sediments?
A)Enhanced speleothem deposition rate
B)Accelerated bedrock dissolution rate✓
C)Reduced cave air ventilation
D)Diminished microbial sulfate reduction
💡 Explanation
Accelerated bedrock dissolution follows from increased organic acid production via chelation; because these acids enhance carbonate mineral solubility. This weathering occurs, therefore karst landscape sculpting increases, rather than diminishing aeration within accessible cave systems.
