← GeographyWhich landscape outcome results when groundwater flows along limestone fractures?
A)Karst topography begins to form✓
B)Rapid sediment deposition starts occurring
C)Increased volcanic activity is observed
D)River delta formation temporarily accelerates
💡 Explanation
The dissolution of limestone occurs because carbonic acid in groundwater chemically weathers the rock via dissolution. This accelerates karst development with features like sinkholes and caves, therefore, karst topography appears, rather than sediment sorting or increased volcanic events.
