Gravitational disruption from a close encounter, some type of drag, etc. The article doesn’t go into a cause for the ring collapse.

Which mechanism can cause ring system to collapse on to the moon surface ? Tidal ?

Dr. Koberlein, I’m naively asking: why did you refer to Iapetus as a planet in this phrase?
