← GeographyWhich erosional outcome is accelerated when cave CO₂ levels increase?
A)Carbonic acid weathering enhancement✓
B)Mechanical fracturing reduction
C)Speleothem deposition increase
D)Silicate mineral lattice strengthening
💡 Explanation
Increased cave CO₂ leads to higher carbonic acid formation thereby enhancing limestone dissolution through chemical weathering; this is carbonic acid weathering; therefore erosion accelerates, rather than changes to speleothem formation or silicate reactions.
