Which geochemical outcome increases within cave systems during increased surface weathering?

💡 Explanation

Increased surface weathering enhances carbonic acid production, causing increased carbonate dissolution rate within cave systems because carbonic acid reacts to dissolve limestone. Therefore, dissolution accelerates rather than deposition slowing, given sufficient groundwater interaction.
