Which risk increases when prolonged carbonic acid forms?

💡 Explanation

Increased carbonic acid accelerates the chemical weathering of limestone via dissolution, producing extensive karst topography because this weakens the rock matrix physically. Therefore, karst features expand; rather than triggering volcanism, glaciation, or ozone depletion, which invoke different processes.
