Which outcome develops when groundwater acidification accelerates subsurface dissolution in karst regions?

💡 Explanation

Increased groundwater acidity enhances the dissolution of carbonate rocks via chemical weathering; this accelerating process of solution-widening results in more sinkholes, because the rock's structural support weakens, therefore sinkhole formation accelerates, rather than cave structures stabilizing.
