← GeographyWhich process accelerates cave formation when groundwater acidity increases?
A)Increased carbonate weathering capacity✓
B)Reduced bicarbonate ion concentration
C)Enhanced deposition of calcium carbonate
D)Decreased rate mineral precipitation
💡 Explanation
Increased groundwater acidity enhances cave formation via carbonate weathering capacity, because increased hydrogen ion concentration accelerates the dissolution of limestone. This acid reaction amplifies Carbonation; therefore, cavern production increases rather than buffering effects.
