← GeographyWhich consequence results when increased acid rain accelerates?
A)Karst landscapes experience increased sinkhole formation✓
B)Coastal erosion diminishes along limestone cliffs
C)Igneous rock weathering rates are accelerated
D)Glacial ice melt rates subsequently decrease
💡 Explanation
Sinkhole formation increases because acid rain accelerates the chemical weathering via dissolution of subsurface limestone; this process weakens the rock, leading to collapse and sinkholes, therefore increased sinkhole formation rather than enhanced glacial melt.
