← GeographyWhich phenomenon primarily causes cave ecosystem collapse following heavy rainfall events?
A)Nutrient influx exceeding buffering capacity✓
B)Decreased dissolved oxygen stratification levels
C)Increased mineral precipitation rate shift
D)Amplified seismic wave resonance fluctuation
💡 Explanation
Cave ecosystems collapse following rain because nutrient influx overwhelms the system, exceeding the ecosystem's buffering. This is driven by eutrophication, rather than changes in seismic activity, mineral precipitation, or oxygen levels; therefore, nutrient influx is the primary driver.
