Which pair of landforms is related to groundwater?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Cave and sinkhole
The governing concept is karst topography produced by groundwater solution. Slightly acidic groundwater enters joints in limestone, dissolves and widens passages, and creates caves. Where the roof of an underground cavity weakens and collapses, a sinkhole develops. Deltas and spits are mainly coastal or fluvial depositional forms, barchans and yardangs are wind-shaped, and cirques and eskers are glacial, so B is the only groundwater-related pair.
