Which risk significantly increases where loess soil compaction inhibits drainage?

💡 Explanation

Surface subsidence becomes likely because compacted loess prevents water infiltration, increasing pore water pressure and destabilizing soil. This process known as hydrocompaction causes collapse rather than silica weathering or carbon changes; therefore, ground subsidence develops.
