Which sinkhole risk increases when soil acidification occurs?

💡 Explanation

Increased soil acidity promotes chemical weathering and faster carbonate dissolution because acidic water enhances the breakdown of the unstable carbonate bedrock. Therefore, the sinkhole risk increases due to dissolution of the limestone rather than the alternatives.
