← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when surface soil acidity increases above karst bedrock?
A)Accelerated limestone dissolution forms larger stalactites✓
B)Slower evaporation increases stalactite deposition
C)Silicate precipitation enhances bedrock stabilization
D)Reduced cave ventilation forms smaller stalactites
💡 Explanation
Increased acidity enhances the dissolution of calcium carbonate via chemical weathering; accelerated Dissolution creates more calcium-rich runoff because lower pH levels increase limestone breakdown, therefore more material is available for stalactite formation, rather than slower erosion.
