Which catastrophic outcome results when unlined stormwater retention ponds trigger?

A)Accelerated sinkhole formation in karst landscapes
B)Increased glacial meltwater discharge event
C)Amplified seismic activity from fluid injection
D)Disrupted coastal sediment transport dynamics

💡 Explanation

Sinkhole formation accelerates because dissolution of soluble bedrock such as limestone is enhanced by infiltrating water in karst regions triggering carbonic acid reactions. Therefore, sinkholes emerge rather than seismic activity, as tectonic stresses depend on plate movement, not water infiltration.
