Which outcome indicates accelerated sinkhole formation above aquifers?

💡 Explanation

Increased surface water infiltration overwhelms the existing subsurface drainage capacity within the karst terrain; therefore, the disrupted karst hydrology equilibrium occurs because accelerating dissolution widens conduits, generating larger voids that trigger sinkholes, rather than simple adjustments to water table heights.
