← GeographyWhich landscape response occurs when fractured limestone bedrock experiences enhanced groundwater infiltration?
A)Development of karst topography✓
B)Formation of fjords and horns
C)Increased eolian dune migration
D)Intensified glacial abrasion erosion
💡 Explanation
Karst topography develops in limestone because rainwater charged with CO2 forms carbonic acid, resulting in dissolution which widens fractures; this creates sinkholes and caves rather than glacial features, therefore the landscape transforms showcasing karst features.
