Which consequence results when aggressive dissolution widens joints of subsurface limestone?

💡 Explanation

Sudden increase in cover-subsidence sinkholes occurs because dissolution of limestone allows overlying sediment to collapse rapidly through voids; therefore sinkholes appear suddenly, rather than through gradual sagging processes or alternate geochemical effects.
