What geological hazard can result from weakened bedrock due to chemical weathering?

Chemical weathering can dissolve minerals in bedrock, weakening it and creating underground cavities. If the ground above a cavity collapses, it forms a sinkhole, so the correct choice is a sinkhole. Earthquakes and tectonic uplift are mainly related to movement of Earth’s crust, while volcanic eruptions involve magma reaching the surface.
