Which topographic change follows limestone dissolution near fracking wells?

💡 Explanation

Increased sinkhole formation is caused by chemical weathering because fractures introduce acidic water into the limestone matrix, which increases the rate of dissolution; therefore, sinkhole prevalence rises near fractures rather than deposition or changes in volcanic processes.
