Which outcome accelerates karst landscape formation when increased carbon dioxide dissolves?

💡 Explanation

Increased carbon dioxide enhances carbonic acid formation; this enhances the dissolution of limestone, because it drives chemical weathering through increased acidity, therefore karst features form more rapidly, rather than slower rates from other hypothetical inhibitors.
