Which outcome increases when acidic rain infiltrates fractured limestone?

💡 Explanation

Increased infiltration of acidic rainwater causes chemical weathering via dissolution, enlarging fractures in the bedrock: because this amplifies differential erosion producing sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage, therefore Karst landscape formation is enhanced, rather than reducing soil development.
