Which risk increases when hydraulic mining thaws permafrost?

💡 Explanation

Increased sedimentation happens because thawing permafrost releases previously frozen sediments; solifluction destabilizes slopes, therefore causing increased sediment load into rivers, rather than reductions in sedimentation because the structural soil collapses.
