← GeographyWhich outcome is caused by fractured limestone landscapes?
A)Increased sinkhole formation activity✓
B)Enhanced river delta sedimentation
C)Decreased coastal erosion rates
D)Elevated volcanic eruption frequency
💡 Explanation
Increased sinkhole formation happens due to the chemical weathering of the soluble bedrock. The process of dissolution causes the limestone to erode, removing support for surface layers, therefore increasing sinkhole activity rather than alternative geological behaviors such as delta or volcano formation.
