← GeographyWhich geochemical outcome increases within cave systems during increased surface weathering?
A)Enhanced carbonate dissolution rate✓
B)Decreased groundwater recharge volume
C)Reduced speleothem deposition rates
D)Stabilized cave temperature gradients
💡 Explanation
Increased surface weathering enhances carbonic acid production, causing increased carbonate dissolution rate within cave systems because carbonic acid reacts to dissolve limestone. Therefore, dissolution accelerates rather than deposition slowing, given sufficient groundwater interaction.
