← GeographyWhich outcome occurs during cave formation with concentrated groundwater flow?
A)Accelerated chemical weathering of limestone✓
B)Halting speleothem growth process
C)Reduced solubility of bedrock minerals
D)Decreased rate of surface erosion
💡 Explanation
Accelerated chemical weathering occurs because the mechanism of carbonic acid dissolution increases the breakdown of limestone. Increased flow delivers more carbonic acid; therefore, dissolution accelerates, rather than slowing, and causes features, while surface erosion is linked to external factors.
