Which risk increases when loess deposits experience groundwater fluctuations?

💡 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.
