← GeographyWhich landscape outcome prominently features preferential calcium carbonate dissolution?
A)Karst topography formation✓
B)Oxbow lake development
C)Volcanic caldera collapse
D)Glacial cirque excavation
💡 Explanation
Karst topography results from preferential Calcium Carbonate Dissolution. This is because regions like those including limestone dissolve as rainwater enriched with CO2 forms carbonic acid, therefore underground drainage systems form rather than surface rivers, and this creates sinkholes and caves.
