← GeographyWhich mechanism accelerates cave formation near coastal regions?

C)Thermal expansion induces rock fracturing
D)Tidal pumping increases sediment deposition
💡 Explanation
Mixing corrosion causes increased dissolution of limestone when different water types meet, therefore caves form faster because the combined solution is undersaturated, rather than from temperature effects.
