Which outcome results when calcium carbonate rock undergoes karstic dissolution?

💡 Explanation

Sinkholes form because carbonic acid from rainwater weathers the bedrock via dissolution; dissolution removes the calcium carbonate, thereby creating voids in the geology rather than resulting in stratified soils or alteration of silicates.

• Which depositional outcome results from decreased glacial ablation?
• Which mechanism intensifies coastal erosion rates along fjord shorelines during regional isostatic rebound?
• Which climatic consequence results when stratovolcano eruptions inject sulphur dioxide into stratosphere?
• Which risk increases when subsurface limestone dissolution forms covered sinkholes under urban infrastructure?
• Which outcome occurs when vegetation loss weakens levees?
• Which outcome becomes likelier as rising global temperatures accelerate glacial isostatic depression in island chains?
