Which consequence occurs when localized bedrock fracturing increases?

💡 Explanation

Increased bedrock fracturing enhances speleogenesis, because it elevates groundwater access and thus limestone dissolution. This facilitates cave formation along weakness planes. Therefore, fracturing promotes cave genesis along geological features, rather than blocking infiltration in general.
