Which risk increases when scarp and counterscarp fortifications experience prolonged artillery bombardment?

💡 Explanation

Prolonged bombardment weakens the soil and geometry through plastic deformation, leading to an increased angle of repose instability because the land's ability to resist shear stress decreases. Therefore, collapse risk rises, rather than increased structural strength.
