← GeographyWhich outcome from chemical weathering accelerates karst landscape formation?
A)Limestone dissolution by slightly acidic water✓
B)Deposition of sediment in river deltas
C)Formation of moraines by glacial action
D)Increased rates of mechanical exfoliation
💡 Explanation
Solution weathering causes significant karst landscape changes because slightly acidic water dissolves limestone, creating fissures that widen over time; therefore increased limestone dissolution accelerates landscape changes, rather than physical sediment deposition.
