Which geochemical consequence results when rapid CO2 absorption diminishes stalactite formation?

💡 Explanation

A reduction in ambient carbonic acid levels slows 'Mineral Dissolution', because less carbonic acid is available to react with the limestone, therefore less calcium bicarbonate is formed, rather than an increase which would happen with dissolution intensification.
