Which risk increases within a pump when cavitation initiates?

💡 Explanation

Cavitation generates vapor bubbles which collapse violently; therefore, excessive energy is released locally and causes material erosion because of the **Raleigh collapse**, rather than improved efficiency or reduced power consumption, which are suppressed by high internal turbulence.
