Which landform transformation often results when carbonic acid saturates subterranean limestone?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated sinkhole formation from the dissolution of limestone occurs through carbonation, triggered by increased carbonic acid saturation; because limestone is especially vulnerable to this chemical weathering process, sinkholes are more likely to emerge rather than other less susceptible landforms; therefore it causes accelerated sinkhole formation.
