← GeographyWhich geomorphic outcome occurs when slightly acidic groundwater interacts chemically with limestone?
A)Karst topography formation✓
B)Formation of oxbow lakes
C)Glacial moraine deposition
D)Volcanic caldera collapse
💡 Explanation
Karst topography forms because the dissolution of calcium carbonate in limestone by carbonic acid creates channels and sinkholes initiating landform development; therefore Karst emerges, rather than lake formation which arises from river meandering.
