Which mechanism primarily causes sinkhole formation acceleration post-deforestation?

A)Increased overburden pressure exceeds soil strength
B)Decreased evapotranspiration raises water table height
C)Reduced root reinforcement triggers soil collapse
D)Enhanced CO2 absorption decreases carbonic dissolution

💡 Explanation

Sinkhole formation accelerates with raised water tables because Deforestation reduces vegetation water uptake via transpiration, which causes amplified dissolution due to higher saturation, therefore, collapse risk escalates, rather than strengthening soils or decreasing dissolution rates .
