← GeographyWhich landscape outcome results with increased carbonic acid?
A)Extensive karst landscape formation✓
B)Accelerated glacial ice formation
C)Widespread desertification patterns
D)Increased rate of soil silicification
💡 Explanation
Increased carbonic acid enhances chemical weathering; namely, dissolution of carbonate rocks. Extensive karst topography is the result through the mechanism of dissolution reactions, because limestone, rather than silicates, is especially soluble; therefore resulting karst rather than other formations.
