← GeographyWhich risk increases when loess deposits experience groundwater fluctuations?
A)Increased soil liquefaction potential✓
B)Accelerated carbonate precipitation rates
C)Enhanced formation of desert pavement
D)Reduced soil aggregate stability
💡 Explanation
Increased soil liquefaction potential rises, because groundwater changes induce effective stress variations, promoting particle rearrangement throughout liquefaction; therefore, this potential increases, rather than either stabilization or pavement formation, since cohesion is weakened not strengthened.
