← GeographyWhich geological outcome results from altered groundwater flow?
A)Increased sinkhole formation rates✓
B)Accelerated volcanic eruption cycles
C)Enhanced glacial ice sheet formation
D)Stabilized coastal sedimentation processes
💡 Explanation
Increased sinkhole formation rates accelerates through limestone dissolution because the changed groundwater flow exposes previously untouched rock to acidic water, enlarging subsurface cavities via chemical weathering; therefore, more sinkholes form rather than other landscape features under these karst processes.
