← GeographyWhich outcome follows accelerated chemical weathering of carbonate bedrock?
A)Karst topography development deep underground✓
B)Increased deposition of alluvial sediments
C)Formation of expansive laterite soils
D)Glacial till formation in highland areas
💡 Explanation
Karst topography increases through dissolution because carbonic acid from rainwater intensifies the dissolution process; therefore caverns form, rather than surface debris, because chemical weathering acts on soluble rock, not insoluble materials.
