← GeographyWhich increased risk results as sinkhole density increases?
A)Lowered groundwater table elevation✓
B)Elevated aquifer recharge rates
C)Increased surface runoff volume
D)Decreased stream sediment transport
💡 Explanation
Lowered groundwater happens due an increase in sinkhole occurrence, and therefore an interconnected conduits; this increases focused infiltration and rapid drainage during recharge events because the overall water storage is reduced, therefore decreases the elevation of the water table rather than elevating recharge.
