Which speleothem formation increases when sulfuric weathering dominates limestone caves?

A)Gypsum crust deposition
B)Flowstone terrace formation
C)Calcite raft accumulation
D)Helictite crystal branching

💡 Explanation

Gypsum crust deposition increases with sulfuric weathering because oxidation generates sulfuric acid, reacting with the limestone bedrock via acid dissolution; therefore gypsum forms, rather than formations dominated by calcium carbonate solutions typical in limestone dissolution.
