Which outcome occurs when cave airflow rises near stalactites formation?

A)Accelerated stalactite erosion rate quickly
B)Increased calcite deposition enhances growth
C)Reduced drip rate changes composition
D)Altered microbial activity affects color

💡 Explanation

Increased airflow lowers the partial pressure of CO2 enhancing calcite deposition called degasification; therefore, the stalactites grow faster near the outlet location, rather than causing erosion that would result primarily from acidic changes.
