Which risk increases when heavy rainfall saturates sinkhole-prone epikarst?

💡 Explanation

Sediment-cover collapse is more likely because increased pore pressure due to *hydraulic loading* reduces the effective stress on overburden material; therefore, support diminishes, and collapse occurs rather than expansion, seismic amplification concerns, or atmospheric methane change.
