← GeographyWhich landscape feature is most directly formed by dissolution?
A)A karst limestone pavement✓
B)Deep-sea hydrothermal vent
C)Eolian sand dune migration
D)Glacial moraine accumulation
💡 Explanation
Karst pavements directly result through dissolution because rainwater, slightly acidic from dissolved CO2, dissolves limestone over time creating grooves and widened joints; therefore karst landscapes strongly indicate dissolution, rather than geothermal, wind, or ice processes.
