← GeographyWhich outcome develops across terrains when variations exist in limestone dissolution?
A)Differential weathering rates and karst✓
B)Uniform sedimentary layering formation rates
C)Increased soil stabilization and density
D)Reduced groundwater infiltration and recharge
💡 Explanation
Karst topography occurs because variations in acidity and mineral concentration result in differential weathering rates; limestone dissolution accelerates in exposed areas exhibiting higher porosity. Therefore, the terrain becomes irregular rather than maintaining a uniform composition.
