saltwater intrusion and sinkholes
mining and coastal erosion
saltwater intrusion and mining
sinkholes and coastal erosion

Answer 1

I don’t have the table you’re looking at, so I can’t tell which two are wrong directly. Please paste the table (or describe the row labels and the descriptions that look incorrect) and I’ll pinpoint which factors must be switched.

Meanwhile, use these definitions to check the entries yourself — find the two descriptions that don’t match and swap them:

- Saltwater intrusion: seawater moving into freshwater aquifers (usually from overpumping of groundwater or sea-level rise).
- Sinkholes: sudden ground collapse where underground rock (often limestone) has been dissolved or removed.
- Mining: human removal of minerals/rock (can cause subsidence, pollution, acid drainage).
- Coastal erosion: loss of shoreline from wave action, currents, storms, or sea-level rise.

If you paste the table I’ll identify exactly which pair to switch.
