Which consequence results when intense rainfall saturates subsurface limestone formations?

💡 Explanation

Increased sinkhole formation is caused by the mechanism of carbonate dissolution. High saturation increases the rate of dissolution, because increased water flow erodes the limestone faster; therefore, sinkholes develop more frequently, rather than decreased aquifer recharge which occurs in less permeable strata.
