Which risk increases when agricultural runoff containing acidic fertilizers flows into regions underlain by karst topography?

💡 Explanation

A greater amount of agricultural runoff leads to faster rates of chemical weathering in the form of dissolution, because the acidic fertilizer enhances the breakdown of carbonate rocks; therefore, sinkholes are more likely to form rather than a deceleration of sinkhole creation.
