Which landscape outcome results when carbonic acid dissolution weakens bedrock?

💡 Explanation

Karst topography expands because carbonic acid dissolution chemically weathers soluble rocks like limestone by dissolving the calcium carbonate. This creates fissures and sinkholes; therefore karst regions result, rather than landforms from glacial or volcanic processes.
