Which mechanism accelerates coastal cave formation when tides draw through fractured limestone?

💡 Explanation

Biochemical carbonate dissolution by tidal waters rich in organic acids etches the cave walls, because the flow delivers reactants, therefore this dissolution accelerates cave growth rather than physical erosion from the venturi effect weakening the structure.
