← GeographyWhich of these results downstream after increased sinkhole formation?
A)Reduced surface water reservoir capacity✓
B)Increased floodplain sediment deposition rate
C)Amplified coastal erosion through wave action
D)Elevated atmospheric humidity via evaporation
💡 Explanation
Increased sinkhole formation leads to decreased surface water as 'dissolution' creates conduits to underground aquifers; therefore reservoir capacity declines because rapid drainage occurs, rather than increased moisture or sedimentation related to altered surface landscapes.
