← GeographyWhich geological hazard strongly correlates to concentrated atmospheric CO2 absorption in karst regions?
A)Increased frequency of sinkhole formation✓
B)Reduced river sedimentation rates
C)Elevated volcanic eruption probabilities
D)Decreased groundwater recharge efficiency
💡 Explanation
Increased CO2 enhances carbonic acid formation. This accelerates the dissolution of carbonate bedrock via chemical weathering, a type of carbonation, therefore sinkhole formation increases directly with higher CO2, rather than affecting sediment rates which are fluvial dynamics.
