← GeographyWhich landform results from enhanced sediment porewater dissolution?
A)Karst sinkhole development accelerates✓
B)Delta lobe subsiding uniformly
C)Flood plain channel avulsion risk
D)Arroyo erosion decreases locally
💡 Explanation
Increased sediment porewater enhances chemical weathering; specifically, dissolution widens fractures along bedding planes. This causes the rock to collapse, therefore karst sinkhole formation increases, rather than deltaic subsidence from sediment compaction under load.
