← GeographyWhich geomorphological feature results after limestone experiences enhanced dissolution from acidic rainfall?
A)Extensive karst terrain formation✓
B)Increased metamorphic rock density
C)Reduced sedimentary layer compaction
D)Amplified volcanic activity nearby
💡 Explanation
Extensive karst terrain forms in some regions because chemical weathering, specifically dissolution of carbonate rocks by carbonic acid, creates solutional cavities. This leads to features like sinkholes rather than rock alteration or volcanism, therefore leading to karst terrain.
