← GeographyWhich outcome results when concentrated atmospheric carbonic acid undergoes heightened dissolution of karst bedrock?
A)Accelerated sinkhole formation develops✓
B)Shale erosion reduces landscape stability
C)Glacial till deposition rate declines
D)Regional eolian loess accumulation increases
💡 Explanation
Increased carbonic acid drives carbonate dissolution in limestone, resulting in enlarged fractures and sinkholes because the chemical weathering process accelerates bedrock erosion; therefore, sinkhole formation accelerates, rather than influencing unrelated measures or materials.
