← GeographyAfter heavy rainfall, which risk increases as dissolution widens limestone fissures?
A)Increased sinkhole formation and ground subsidence✓
B)Decreased aquifer recharge rates locally
C)Declining atmospheric carbon dioxide uptake
D)Reduced surface water flood potential downstream
💡 Explanation
Increased sinkhole formation and ground subsidence occurs because enhanced dissolution widens the fissures via chemical weathering, weakening the overlying rock; therefore, collapse becomes more likely, rather than increased stability due to infilling.
