Which morphological outcome results from seasonally reduced solutional activity in cave systems?

A)Thicker, banded stalactite layering forms
B)Increased ceiling collapse near entrances
C)Faster dissolution rate of surrounding bedrock
D)Lower cave air CO2 concentration develops

💡 Explanation

Thicker layering arises because the slowing of drip rates increases the deposition from each event. This is due to evaporative concentration creating supersaturation; therefore, thicker bands form, rather than uniform distribution like constant seeps.
