Which speleothem risk increases when groundwater acidity rises?

💡 Explanation

Increased acidity drives higher Hydrogen concentration, accelerating dissolving existing cave formations because the dissolution equilibrium shifts; increased ionic activity increases limestone breakdown therefore speeding weathering rather than formation under differing geochemical gradients.
