← GeographyWhich process limits cave passage development beneath perched water tables?
A)Epiphreatic zone dissolution✓
B)Hypogenic speleogenesis rates
C)Vadose zone infiltration
D)Bathyal zone mixing
💡 Explanation
Epiphreatic zone dissolution facilitates passage enlargement at fluctuating water table levels because the alternating saturated and unsaturated conditions enhance chemical weathering. Therefore, it primarily shapes cave systems; rather than vadose infiltration, which primarily focuses on water delivery.
