Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When groundwater percolates through limestones, it can dissolve the rock and create voids and cavities. Over time, the roof of these voids may collapse, creating sinkholes. Additionally, if the voids remain intact, they can develop into caverns. Therefore, the correct answer is C, sinkholes and caverns. Artesian wells (A) refer to wells that tap into confined aquifers, aquicludes (B) are impermeable layers that prevent the movement of groundwater, and perched water tables (D) are small, localized bodies of groundwater that are separated from the main groundwater table by an impermeable layer.
