← GeographyWhich outcome commonly results when acidic groundwater flows through underground limestone caves?
A)Karst topography formation and cave collapses✓
B)Increased regional seismic activity occurrence
C)Depletion of water resources in aquifers
D)Rapid desertification impacting surface ecosystem
💡 Explanation
The dissolution process widens fractures, leading to karst topography due to the chemical weathering of carbonate bedrock; because dissolution weathers the rock, cave collapses are likely to occur, therefore topography changes can result, rather than immediate effects on seismic faults.
