Which risk intensifies when levee sediments undergo compaction?

💡 Explanation

Increased storm surge inundation distance occurs because compaction reduces levee height via subsidence, a process intensifying flood risk; therefore, storm surges can penetrate further inland, rather than thermohaline circulation or deep mantle processes changing.
