← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when acidic rainwater permeates limestone?
A)Karst topography develops via dissolution✓
B)Dense aggregate formation accelerates erosion
C)Clay minerals precipitate near aquifers
D)Feldspar weathers into plagioclase minerals
💡 Explanation
Karst topography develops because carbonic acid dissolves the calcium carbonate via chemical weathering (dissolution), creating caves and sinkholes. Therefore erosion accelerates rather than stabilization; clay and feldspar actions happen because of separate processes.
