Why do high-latitude regions not experience karst weathering as quickly as warmer regions?
A)because water is often frozen and unavailable for chemical reactions at high latitudes
B)because there are few carbonate rocks at high latitudes
C)because there is little liquid rainfall at high latitudes
D)because there is little available carbon to make carbonic acid at high latitudes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Karst weathering occurs when carbonic acid dissolves carbonate rocks. However, at high latitudes, water is often frozen and unavailable for chemical reactions, preventing the formation of carbonic acid and slowing down the karst weathering process.
