← GeographyWhich event strongly promotes accelerated karst topography development?
A)Intense, prolonged carbonic acid weathering✓
B)Deposition of fine glacial till
C)Arid climate with high evaporation
D)Dense vegetation, limited root penetration
💡 Explanation
Karst topography is expedited by increased levels of carbonic acid weathering, because this dissolution process enlarges bedrock fractures promoting pathways for water flow to accelerate bedrock *leaching*; therefore, dissolved bedrock becomes surface features, rather than remaining stabilized within bedrock profiles.
