← GeographyWhich landscape change results when carbonic acid is added to karst regions?
A)Increased sinkhole and cave formation✓
B)Decreased sediment accumulation in rivers
C)Expanded glacial ice erosion
D)Reduced coastal erosion rate
💡 Explanation
Increased sinkhole and cave formation occurs because carbonate dissolution weakens limestone, due to the acid's reaction; this chemical weathering mechanism creates voids rather than other erosional processes which require physical force or different chemistries therefore.
