← GeographyWhich outcome results when elevated atmospheric CO2 dissolution increases?
A)Enhanced karst landscape cave network size✓
B)Decreased ocean water methane release
C)Glacial ice sheet basal lubrication
D)Reduced rates of volcanic rock weathering
💡 Explanation
The increased dissolution of atmospheric CO2 in rainwater leads to carbonic acid formation, accelerating chemical weathering of carbonate rocks. This enhances karst landscape development through dissolution, rather than altering methane release, ice lubrication, or inhibiting volcanic weathering, because it directly impacts carbonate mineral solubility.
