← GeographyWhich mechanism increases sinkhole formation over limestone aquifers?
A)Water table lowering by dissolution✓
B)Increased surface runoff by erosion
C)Glacial till overburden erosion
D)Decreased vegetation transpiration rates
💡 Explanation
Lowering the water table causes more aeration of limestone, so acid dissolution by groundwater increases, thereby enlarging subsurface voids and leading to sinkhole collapses, rather than other choices near surface.
