← GeographyWhich risk increases when ephemeral desert streams overflow?
A)Dissolution drives sinkhole formation abruptly✓
B)Erosion prevents stable terrace development
C)Infiltration fuels volcanic mudflows quickly
D)Abrasion inhibits groundwater recharge locally
💡 Explanation
Dissolution increases sinkhole formation because overflowing desert streams expose soluble bedrock, exacerbating chemical weathering; therefore, collapse risk increases rather than stable terraces because transport processes dominate or recharge is relevant far less.
