← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when soluble bedrock undergoes focused infiltration?
A)Accelerated sinkhole formation✓
B)Increased sediment deposition
C)Diminished regional aquifer recharge
D)Stabilized surface soil structure
💡 Explanation
Accelerated sinkhole formation occurs through focused dissolution because infiltrating water dissolves the soluble rock along preferential flow paths. Therefore this process results in sinkholes, rather than sediment changes or aquifer recharge issues associated with broader geological factors.
