← GeographyWhich landform results when slightly acidic groundwater drives landscape evolution?
A)Extensive karst topography formation✓
B)Accelerated delta sedimentation
C)Widespread glacial valley formation
D)Intensified desert pavement development
💡 Explanation
When groundwater permeates carbonate-rich bedrock, dissolution occurs, creating features of karst topography; because acidic water dissolves the rock, therefore landscapes with limestone create caves rather than deltas shaped by deposition.
