Which risk increases when groundwater's carbonic acid levels rise significantly in karst regions?

💡 Explanation

Increased carbonic acid enhances limestone dissolution because carbonic acid reacts with calcium carbonate, accelerating cave/sinkhole formation via solution weathering; therefore, landscape denudation accelerates, rather than batholith formation which involves magmatic processes.
