Answer: creates a haphazard development pattern that consumes large amounts of land.

Explanation: Leapfrogging development is a factor of urban sprawl in which develops look for new, cheaper locations to build residences and businesses. It creates a haphazard development pattern that consumes large amounts of rural land. Urban sprawl is the urbanization of rural areas due to the spread of neighboring cities. When it is due to leapfrog development, it skips established or developed areas, and goes to far locations in search of less developed and cheaper land.
