Which outcome occurs when concentrated animal feeding operations generate excessive nitrogen runoff on karst topography?

💡 Explanation

Sinkhole formation accelerates via dissolution because enriched nitrogen runoff acidifies groundwater, enhancing chemical weathering of bedrock. Therefore, sinkholes form rapidly, rather than a slower formation otherwise due to natural carbonic acid levels.
