Which ground deformation risk increases when lowered water tables accelerate limestone dissolution?

💡 Explanation

More aggressive limestone dissolution causes more subsurface voids, therefore sinkhole formation becomes more likely suddenly, rather than a slower subsidence, because the reduced pore water pressure weakens the existing structural integrity.
