Which outcome typically results when rapid snowmelt saturates a pre-existing karst system above a municipal area?

💡 Explanation

Rapid saturation elevates the water table, increasing pore pressure and dissolving limestone via solution weathering; sinkhole formation accelerates because of reduced support, therefore localized collapse is more likely, rather than even areal saturation.
