Which issue intensifies significantly when loess deposits undergo rapid saturation?

A)Groundwater aquifer depletion increases quickly
B)Catastrophic ground subsidence becomes pronounced
C)Longshore drift erosion becomes problematic
D)Glacial ablation rates accelerate unexpectedly

💡 Explanation

Ground subsidence intensifies because hydrocompaction, enhanced by the water rather than overburden, causes the unstable loess structure to collapse. Therefore enhanced ground subsidence occurs rather than groundwater depletion because aquifers are distinct systems.
