← GeographyWhich weathering product accelerates karst topography development in limestone formations?
A)Carbonic acid dissolution by recharge✓
B)Fracture sealing via clay deposition
C)Sulfate precipitation from hydrothermal vents
D)Silica cementation from groundwater upwelling
💡 Explanation
Carbonic acid enhances karst formation due to chemical weathering; increased levels means expedited dissolution. This is because dissolution widens fractures, therefore rainwater is channeled through, rather than surface flow that spreads slower.
