Which 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.
