← GeographyWhich consequence results when increased acidic snowmelt infiltrates karst regions?
A)Accelerated carbonate rock dissolution✓
B)Reduced soil microorganism activity
C)Stabilized surface stream flow
D)Decreased cave system sedimentation
💡 Explanation
Accelerated Karst formation occurs because increased carbonic acid enhances the chemical weathering (dissolution) of carbonate rocks; therefore, caves and sinkholes enlarge rather than sedimentation changes, because the water's corrosive power increases the material breakdown.
