← GeographyWhich risk increases when water tables decline in karst landscapes?
A)Increased sinkhole formation incidents✓
B)Decreased rates of soil erosion
C)Reduced river sediment deposition
D)Greater surface runoff infiltration
💡 Explanation
Increased sinkhole formation increases, as dropout sinkholes develop because the loss of water support destabilizes cave roofs and collapses overlying sediment; therefore, ground subsidence increases rather than less erosion affecting surface material.
