Which outcome results when concentrated agricultural runoff infiltrates karst topography?

💡 Explanation

Increased acidity from runoff through soil enhances carbonic acid weathering, a dissolution mechanism forming sinkholes because limestone bedrock dissolves faster under acidic conditions; therefore, this increases sinkhole frequency rather than stabilizing equilibrium since buffering capacity is exceeded.
