← GeographyWhich consequence results when groundwater acidification accelerates sinkhole formation?
A)Increased sediment deposition in aquifers
B)Enhanced albedo effect on surface
C)Disrupted overburden support mechanisms✓
D)Decreased geothermal gradient stability
💡 Explanation
Sinkhole creation expands rapidly because groundwater acidification enhances the chemical weathering (dissolution) of carbonate rocks, undermining subsurface structural support. Therefore, overburden support is threatened, rather than alternative impacts on surface properties or aquifer composition.
