Which risk increases when rapid snowmelt saturates covered karst bedrock?

A)Increased expansive soil pressures
B)Amplified sinkhole formation rates
C)Elevated rates of carbon sequestration
D)Reduced mineral weathering potential

💡 Explanation

Amplified sinkhole formation rates result because increased water volume and pressure accelerate chemical weathering via dissolution; therefore, sinkhole emergence is more probable, rather than expansive soil pressures which relate to clay mineralogy.
