Which consequence results when a meander cutoff forms in proximity to subterranean streams?

💡 Explanation

Localized subsidence of Karst topography occurs because meander cutoffs redirect surface water flow into subterranean streams accelerating dissolution of carbonate bedrock via chemical weathering, rather than other options like aquifer recharge, therefore karst formations destabilize due to the increased flow concentration.
