Which outcome results when atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration increases?

💡 Explanation

Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to greater carbonic acid formation in rainwater, resulting in enhanced dissolution of carbonate rocks through a mechanism called carbonation. This occurs because the acidity promotes chemical weathering; therefore karst topography is accentuated rather than suppressed.
