← GeographyWhich outcome accelerates karst landscape development due to rainfall?
A)Increased dissolution rates✓
B)Decreased sediment deposition
C)Elevated surface albedo
D)Reduced evapotranspiration rates
💡 Explanation
Increased rainfall enhances chemical weathering in karst regions through dissolution, because rainwater becomes weakly acidic by absorbing atmospheric CO2 causing the solution to dissolve carbonate rocks; therefore, dissolution occurs rather than increased plant growth, thereby sculpting unique formations.
