Which outcome occurs when excessive irrigation impacts caves?

💡 Explanation

Irrigation increases freshwater flow through unsaturated karst, triggering bedrock weathering because carbonic acid concentration increases via solution weathering. Therefore, caves dissolve faster, modifying landscapes, rather than reducing runoff, which would happen with different conditions.

• Which process influences thermocline destabilization when increased freshwater runoff enters a subtropical gyre?
• Which consequence results when river sediment supply increases rapidly?
• Which feedback mechanism explains higher sea surface temperatures that disrupt upwelling within an ocean gyre?
• Which outcome results when freeze-thaw cycles excessively erode bedrock?
• Which outcome occurs as a sand barrier's sediment budget becomes increasingly negative?
• Which consequence arises when a coastal engineering project disrupts longshore drift?
