Which landform results from enhanced sediment porewater dissolution?

💡 Explanation

Increased sediment porewater enhances chemical weathering; specifically, dissolution widens fractures along bedding planes. This causes the rock to collapse, therefore karst sinkhole formation increases, rather than deltaic subsidence from sediment compaction under load.
