Which caldera-forming outcome significantly increases due to ignimbrite deposition?

A)Groundwater hydrothermal system lifespan
B)Pyroclastic density current propagation
C)Magmatic differentiation slowdown rate
D)Andesitic lava viscosity reduction

💡 Explanation

Pyroclastic flow deposits such as ignimbrite elevate surface temperatures, which enhances thermal ground expansion; therefore, increased density current propagation results, rather than changed viscosity or differentiation, because high deposition temperatures lower the aerial friction coefficient.
