← GeographyWhich outcome indicates accelerated sinkhole formation above aquifers?
A)Increased stream sediment discharge
B)Decreased groundwater recharge rates
C)Disrupted karst hydrology equilibrium✓
D)Elevated regional atmospheric pressure
💡 Explanation
Increased surface water infiltration overwhelms the existing subsurface drainage capacity within the karst terrain; therefore, the disrupted karst hydrology equilibrium occurs because accelerating dissolution widens conduits, generating larger voids that trigger sinkholes, rather than simple adjustments to water table heights.
