Which environmental transformation results when groundwater saturation exceeds cave sediment's infiltration capacity?

💡 Explanation

Increased hydraulic pressure in a saturated cave environment results because infiltration is limited, driving inundation, therefore increasing hydrostatic pressure rather than weathering, because weathering occurs at the rock-water interface under unsaturated conditions.
