Which cave-system change occurs during rapid glacial melt?

💡 Explanation

Glacio-eustatic sea-level changes alter local hydrostatic conditions because meltwater returns to the ocean affecting coastal aquifer levels. Therefore, changing sea level alters cave flooding, rather than pressure collapse, permafrost melt, or tectonic rebound.
