Which consequence results when increased acidity accelerates limestone dissolution underground?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated limestone dissolution by acidic water creates voids; this karstification leads to the formation of extensive cave systems because calcium carbonate is dissolved, therefore enhancing cave development, rather than affecting sediment stability or silicate weathering.
