← GeographyWhich risk increases when subsurface limestone experiences increased acidity?
A)Accelerated karst landscape formation✓
B)Decreased surface water infiltration
C)Reduced aquifer recharge rates
D)Decreased weathering sediment production
💡 Explanation
Increased acidity promotes chemical weathering via dissolution, rapidly forming karst features because the carbonic acid reaction drives limestone dissolution, therefore creating caves and sinkholes, rather than impeding surface processes.
