Which consequence results when accelerated pedogenesis exceeds stabilization limits?

A)Increased seismic activity along faults

B)Surface subsidence and sinkhole formation✓

C)Enhanced carbon sequestration rates

D)Reduced atmospheric particulate matter levels

💡 Explanation

Surface subsidence results from exceeding soil stabilization limits because rapid pedogenesis can dissolve subsurface geological strata via carbonic dissolution, thereby causing voids. This outcome is more likely through dissolution rather than the other options, which are connected to different processes.
