← GeographyWhich outcome results from increased dissolved CO2 precipitation permeating karst?
A)Accelerated stalactite formation in caves✓
B)Decreased sinkhole formation on surface
C)Reduced flow within limestone aquifers
D)Stabilized underground cave ecosystem pH
💡 Explanation
Accelerated stalactite formation occurs because the increased dissolved CO2 enhances carbonic acid weathering via a dissolution process, therefore promoting greater calcium carbonate deposition, rather than slowing surface disintegration elsewhere.
