Which process causes increased land subsistence when karst aquifers dissolve?

💡 Explanation

Land subsidence increases because differential mass removal via leaching dissolves soluble bedrock (like limestone), creating voids; therefore, the ground collapses, rather than recrystallization strengthening the formation, maintaining stable rock structure.
