Which outcome increases erosion beneath concentrated heavy infrastructure loads?

A)Chemical weathering via dissolution✓

B)Isostatic rebound from unloading

C)Oxidation of ferrous rock inclusions

D)Aeolian deflation along fault lines

💡 Explanation

Increased loads concentrate stresses causing accelerated fracturing and dissolution along joints, weakening the rock structure due to chemical weathering. Sinkhole formation will then increase infrastructure instability rather than isostatic rebound, because dissolution is the dominant mechanism.
