Which feedback results when increased dissolution widens cave fractures?

💡 Explanation

Increased fracture size accelerates water flow which enhances dissolution. This increases calcite deposition rates because increased supply exceeds existing equilibrium conditions, accelerating dripstone or stalactite formation, therefore enhancing solution rates rather than hindering the process.
