← GeographyWhich landscape forms due to prolonged carbonic acid dissolution?
A)Development of extensive karst topography✓
B)Formation of sharply defined fjords
C)Creation of broad alluvial plains
D)Emergence of volcanic caldera features
💡 Explanation
Extensive karst topography arises because carbonic acid dissolution of limestone creates underground drainage systems, rather than other erosional processes shaping different landscapes. Therefore, karst develops, rather than fjords or alluvial plains, under specific climatic and geological conditions.
