Which consequence results when increased soil acidity accelerates mineral dissolution during speleogenesis?

💡 Explanation

Increased soil acidity enhances karst processes via dissolution, creating larger conduits to subterranean water flow. This causes accelerated development of widening karst groundwater aquifers because dissolution rates are greatly increased, therefore, aquifer forms rapidly, rather than other landscape features such as vadose zones.
