← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when acidic groundwater encounters soluble bedrock?
A)Sinkhole formation accelerating soil erosion✓
B)Accelerated desertification, reduced water infiltration
C)Increased deposition of alluvial sediments
D)Glacier formation and accelerated ice flow
💡 Explanation
Sinkhole formation accelerates soil erosion because dissolution of carbonate rocks due to the carbonic acid weathering process weakens the ground's structural integrity, forming cavities; therefore it creates depressions rather than the alluvial sediment, glacial or desertification responses.
