← GeographyWhich landscape results if rainfall acidity overwhelms cave formation's buffering capacity?
A)Surface karstification accelerates dramatically✓
B)Stalactite growth suddenly stops entirely
C)Soil horizon development becomes dominant
D)River sediment load decreases massively
💡 Explanation
Surface karstification accelerates because carbonic acid dissolution increases beyond the equilibrium threshold, therefore enhanced dissolution of limestone occurs at surface rather than subsurface cave formation and buffering, because cave alkalinity is overwhelmed.
