Which risk increases when continuous drip-feeding halts in caves?

💡 Explanation

Structural collapse increases because recrystallization ceases, affecting cave systems; stalactite formation depends upon continuous calcium carbonate deposition. Gravity overcomes diminished cohesive strength resulting in deformation rather than stable rock formations, therefore collapse occurs.
