← GeographyWhich geological feature results when carbonation weathered limestone collapses underground?
A)Karst sinkhole expansion✓
B)Oxbow lake formation
C)Alluvial fan deposition
D)Glacial moraine development
💡 Explanation
Karst sinkhole expansion occurs due to the dissolution of limestone bedrock by slightly acidic rainwater, creating underground cavities. The carbonate dissolution weakens the rock; therefore, the surface collapses, forming a sinkhole, rather than the described alluvial, glacial, or fluvial formations.
