← GeographyWhich outcome is accelerated where subsurface limestone acidity increases?
A)Karst dissolution processes intensify rapidly✓
B)A horizon soil bulk density declines
C)Regional evapotranspiration rate decreases
D)Fluvial sediment deposition rate slows
💡 Explanation
Karst dissolution significantly intensifies with increasing acidity; this process, called carbonic acid weathering, results in caves, sinkholes, and other karst features. It speeds up because the elevated hydrogen ion concentration enhances limestone erosion rather than altering soil, evapotranspiration, or sedimentation.
