Which landform develops when carbonic acid drives dissolution?

💡 Explanation

Extensive karst topography including caves and sinkholes forms because chemical weathering, specifically dissolution, by the weak carbonic acid dissolves carbonate rocks. This weathering is preferred rather than calderas (volcanic) or alluvial which involve deposition.
