← GeographyWhich outcome develops when rainfall accelerates the weathering of carbonate bedrock?
A)Karst topography accelerates underground dissolution✓
B)Fjords increase sediment deposition rates
C)Loess stratigraphy generates banded soil
D)Desertification impacts soil organic layers
💡 Explanation
Intense rainfall leads to karst topography because chemical weathering via dissolution occurs in soluble rocks. Therefore, underground dissolution processes accelerate, rather than increased sediment deposition or shifted soil horizons from alternative weathering.
