Which ground deformation risk increases when lowered water tables accelerate limestone dissolution?

A)Catastrophic sinkhole formation becomes more likely
B)Enhanced aquifer recharge through cave networks
C)Diminished soil fertility above karst bedrock
D)Increased seismic activity along fracture zones

💡 Explanation

More aggressive limestone dissolution causes more subsurface voids, therefore sinkhole formation becomes more likely suddenly, rather than a slower subsidence, because the reduced pore water pressure weakens the existing structural integrity.
