accelerated corrosion

accelerated corrosion
   A localized concentration of solution intensity, produced by factors favoring greater aggressivity of the water in certain parts of the karstland creating differential solution rates and thereby a marked unevenness in the overall erosion of the karstland [19].
   See also corrosion; alluvial corrosion.
