Which outcome occurs when excessive irrigation impacts caves?

💡 Explanation

Irrigation increases freshwater flow through unsaturated karst, triggering bedrock weathering because carbonic acid concentration increases via solution weathering. Therefore, caves dissolve faster, modifying landscapes, rather than reducing runoff, which would happen with different conditions.
