← GeographyWhich risk increases when rapid snowmelt saturates covered karst bedrock?
A)Increased expansive soil pressures
B)Amplified sinkhole formation rates✓
C)Elevated rates of carbon sequestration
D)Reduced mineral weathering potential
💡 Explanation
Amplified sinkhole formation rates result because increased water volume and pressure accelerate chemical weathering via dissolution; therefore, sinkhole emergence is more probable, rather than expansive soil pressures which relate to clay mineralogy.
