Which pattern commonly results where loess deposits overlie karst topography?

💡 Explanation

When loess sits atop karst, infiltrating water dissolves the underlying limestone, causing subsurface cavities because this chemical weathering weakens overall structure. Therefore, increased *compaction* becomes more likely, rather than increased weathering elsewhere.
