← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when continuous rainfall permeates limestone bedrock?
A)Karst topography formation increases rapidly nearby✓
B)Regional subsidence lessens slope instability
C)Aquifer infiltration filtration maximizes instantly
D)Deposition rate offsets bedrock erosion
💡 Explanation
Karst topography develops because dissolution by rainwater enlarges fractures in limestone, forming sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage systems. Rainfall percolation increases the dissolution rate, intensifying karst formation, therefore enhancing topography rapidly rather than other, preventative, changes.
