Which environment favors rapid stalactite formation due to cascading reactions?

💡 Explanation

A warm, humid cave promotes stalactite formation through increased dissolving power of water via **carbonation**. More CO2 influx increases carbonic acid formation, therefore, dissolving limestone faster and enhancing calcium carbonate precipitation creating stalactites, rather than slower depositions.
