Which outcome occurs when increased rainfall accelerates chemical weathering?

💡 Explanation

Karst topography develops because chemical weathering via dissolution of carbonate rocks is enhanced by increased rainfall; the **dissolution** process creates underground drainage systems and sinkholes. Therefore, karst features dominate, rather than stable soil; rainfall leaches soil nutrients.
