← GeographyWhich landscape outcome develops because subsurface limestone dissolution accelerates?
A)Increased karst topography and sinkholes✓
B)Formation moraines and glacial valleys
C)Extensive dune fields and desertification
D)Formation floodplains and fluvial deposits
💡 Explanation
A landscape riddled with sinkholes and caves forms when subsurface limestone dissolution undermines the surface; this is karst topography, because increased acidity enhances the dissolution process, thereby creating these geological features, rather than those associated with glacial, desert, or fluvial processes.
