Which hazard increases when overlying clay erodes above karst?

💡 Explanation

Sinkhole formation increases with the removal of clay overburden by erosion because decreased pressure enhances the dissolution of underlying limestone via chemical weathering, therefore increased vulnerability occurs rather than the development of other geographically distinct or chemically unrelated results.
