Which effect accelerates sinkhole formation within karst regions?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced leaching of bedrock minerals causes accelerated collapses forming sinkholes because dissolution widens fractures, therefore increased acid rain escalates this mechanism, rather than reduced infiltration which would diminish dissolution.
