Which outcome results when a prolonged regional drought intensifies?

💡 Explanation

More drought leads to increased soil tension and reduced support for cave roofs, a process called mechanical weathering; because dissolution weakens the rock and drought removes moisture, leading to ceiling collapses; therefore the collapse risk increases locally, rather than wide-spread glacier or volcano impact.
