Which risk increases when concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are located in regions with soluble bedrock?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated sinkhole formation increases because dissolution enlarges fractures in soluble bedrock via chemical weathering, where infiltration of acidic waste enhances the process. Thus, CAFOs expedite creation, while seismic or glacial, rather than dissolution impacts, geological events.
