← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when increased rainfall accelerates chemical weathering?
A)Enhanced karst topography development occurs✓
B)More stable soil profiles develop rapidly
C)Reduced availability of soil nutrients
D)Decreased sediment load in rivers
💡 Explanation
Karst topography develops because chemical weathering via dissolution of carbonate rocks is enhanced by increased rainfall; the **dissolution** process creates underground drainage systems and sinkholes. Therefore, karst features dominate, rather than stable soil; rainfall leaches soil nutrients.
