← GeographyWhich consequence results when limestone dissolution causes sinkhole formation?
A)Groundwater contamination increases rapidly upstream✓
B)Floodplains experience stabilized sediment deposition
C)Overland flow experiences lower channel erosion
D)Soil profiles maintain higher clay contents
💡 Explanation
Increased upstream groundwater contamination results because sinkhole formation causes direct conduits between surface pollutants and the aquifer through dissolution, therefore contamination increases, rather than filtering through sediment or clay layers like normal groundwater flow.
