← GeographyWhich hazard increases where soluble bedrock collapses suddenly?
A)Flash flooding intensity downstream✓
B)Coastal erosion vulnerability expands
C)Soil salinization due to capillary action
D)Volcanic eruption frequency nearby
💡 Explanation
Increased flash flooding occurs because sinkhole formation via **dissolution** creates pathways for concentrated surface runoff; therefore, flood peaks rise and spread rapidly, rather than infiltrating gradually through resistant soil.
