← GeographyWhich topographic change develops because of the Karst dissolution?
A)Increased formation of subterranean caverns✓
B)Decreased water table due reduced runoff
C)Accelerated stream sediment delta aggradation
D)Uniform soil consolidation and reduced erosion
💡 Explanation
Increased formation of subterranean caverns occurs because the dissolving action of slightly acidic water on limestone results in the enlargement of cracks and fissures; this is chemical weathering. Therefore, cave formation escalates, rather than reduced water tables or deposition.
