← GeographyWhich consequence results when accelerated limestone pavement dissolution occurs?
A)Increased overland flow erosion✓
B)Reduced soil nitrogen fixation
C)Decreased river sediment deposition
D)Enhanced fault line lubrication
💡 Explanation
Concentrated flow intensifies dissolution, deepening grikes where water preferentially flows; because rainwater is slightly acidic, therefore the increased acidity from the dissolved carbon accelerates the formation of solution runnels, rather than soil nitrogen fixation.
