← GeographyWhich primary outcome develops when karst topography experiences weathering?
A)Widespread sinkhole formation accelerates sharply✓
B)Increased surface runoff and erosion
C)Accelerated glacial ice accumulation locally
D)Deposition of alluvial fan sediments
💡 Explanation
Accelerated sinkhole formation is the outcome because chemical weathering, specifically dissolution, creates voids in the soluble rock; therefore, the karst landscape collapses forming sinkholes, rather than leading to surface runoff like in impermeable terrains.
