Which consequence results when increased soil acidity accelerates mineral dissolution during speleogenesis?

A)Accelerated development of widening karst aquifers
B)Increased deposition within vadose zone structures
C)Slower rates of playa lake evaporation
D)Strengthened structural integrity of continental divides

💡 Explanation

Increased soil acidity enhances karst processes via dissolution, creating larger conduits to subterranean water flow. This causes accelerated development of widening karst groundwater aquifers because dissolution rates are greatly increased, therefore, aquifer forms rapidly, rather than other landscape features such as vadose zones.
