Which consequence results when rapid evaporative cooling occurs near a cave entrance during arid conditions?

A)Increased carbonate mineral precipitation rate
B)Decreased dissolution of cave formations
C)Enhanced biogenic dust particle transport
D)Accelerated condensation-corrosion wall erosion

💡 Explanation

Carbonate precipitation accelerates because evaporative cooling increases the saturation index of the cave's dripwater film, leading to increased deposition of calcite and aragonite; therefore, speleothem formation increases, rather than any type of dissolution.
