Which risk substantially precedes increased urbanization above soluble carbonate bedrock?

💡 Explanation

Increased urbanization can overload drainage systems and concentrate runoff which causes dissolution of carbonate bedrock due to increased water flow; this is Karstification. Therefore, accelerated sinkhole collapse precedes further urban construction, rather than decreased infiltration, which actually initiates the problem.
