← GeographyWhich outcome increases when acidic rain infiltrates fractured limestone?
A)Enhanced Karst landscape formation✓
B)Reduced soil horizon development
C)Decreased aquifer recharge rates
D)Diminished regional water availability
💡 Explanation
Increased infiltration of acidic rainwater causes chemical weathering via dissolution, enlarging fractures in the bedrock: because this amplifies differential erosion producing sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage, therefore Karst landscape formation is enhanced, rather than reducing soil development.
