Which outcome occurs when prolonged aquifer depletion weakens strata?

💡 Explanation

Sinkhole formation accelerates because dissolving supports causes subsurface instability. Increased effective stress triggers *suffosion*, therefore expansion occurs rather than increased underground mineral or ground stability because dissolved supports were removed.
