← GeographyWhich process limits cave formation depth inside karst aquifers?
A)Density driven convection cessation
B)Biogenic calcite precipitation arrest
C)Phreatic zone dissolution constraints✓
D)Surface sediment cementation impedance
💡 Explanation
Cave formation relies on dissolution that declines with depth because the rising water becomes saturated through interaction with carbonate bedrock and thus stops limestone dissolution, rather than reduced density inhibiting convection, or other surface-linked processes.
