Which outcome results from increased precipitation in karst cave systems?

💡 Explanation

Increased precipitation raises the likelihood of hydraulic fracturing because groundwater pressure weakens cave roofs; therefore collapse risk rises rather than speleothem formation since dissolution dominates over mineral deposition at excessive flows.
