Which geological event is promoted when agricultural irrigation increases on karst terrain?

💡 Explanation

Increased irrigation on karst terrain leads to aggravated sinkhole formation because increased water flow accelerates the limestone dissolution process acting via chemical DISINTEGRATION. Therefore enhanced dissolution widens pre-existing fractures, rather than causing consolidation, geysers, or gas production since it's focused on dissolving soluble rock.
