← GeographyWhich landform outcome results after prolonged carbonic acid exposure?
A)Extensive karst topography formation✓
B)Increased rates of glacial calving
C)Formation of shield volcano plateaus
D)Accelerated sandstone desertification process
💡 Explanation
Extensive karst topography formation will occur, a result of limestone dissolution via weathering; the chemical dissolution is the main mechanism, because the calcium carbonate breakdown via carbonic acid therefore creates fissures rather than other surface changes.
