Which landscape outcome develops because subsurface limestone dissolution accelerates?

💡 Explanation

A landscape riddled with sinkholes and caves forms when subsurface limestone dissolution undermines the surface; this is karst topography, because increased acidity enhances the dissolution process, thereby creating these geological features, rather than those associated with glacial, desert, or fluvial processes.
