← GeographyWhich phenomenon results when sulfuric acid enhances speleogenesis?
A)Increased network cave erosion✓
B)Diminished spring water hardness
C)Reduced calcium carbonate precipitation
D)Decreased surface soil acidity
💡 Explanation
Increased sulfuric acid enhances cave formation because carbonate dissolution accelerates; therefore, cave erosion increases rather than a reduction in soil acidity or spring water hardness, which are indirectly affected by the increased dissolution from increased sulfuric acid.
