Which outcome results from increased atmospheric carbon increasing carbonic acid near limestone formations?

💡 Explanation

Erosion accelerates in karst landscapes because carbonic acid enhances the chemical weathering of limestone via dissolution, increasing solution widening of fissures; therefore faster runoff erosion results, rather than mineral precipitation or metamorphic changes which occur at other scales.
