Which outcome is accelerated where subsurface limestone acidity increases?

💡 Explanation

Karst dissolution significantly intensifies with increasing acidity; this process, called carbonic acid weathering, results in caves, sinkholes, and other karst features. It speeds up because the elevated hydrogen ion concentration enhances limestone erosion rather than altering soil, evapotranspiration, or sedimentation.
