Which geological change occurs when groundwater calcium saturation rises within limestone caves?

💡 Explanation

Calcite precipitation happens in speleothems; because an increased saturation encourages dissolution to reverse through deposition of calcite minerals, crystal growth leads to geological structures and formations; therefore, existing cave decor grows, rather than rock eroding.
