Which risk increases when concentrated rainwater infiltrates karst landscapes used for intensive agriculture?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated sinkhole formation occurs because agricultural runoff containing fertilizers enhances calcium carbonate dissolution; Acidification increases weathering in fractured rock, weakening it leading to the sinkhole development in limestone, therefore accelerating sinkhole formation, rather than reducing it without the runoff.
