← GeographyWhich consequence results from pyroclastic flow deposition during lahar formation?
A)Increased sediment supply into streams✓
B)Enhanced biotic productivity in floodplains.
C)Decreased slope stability upslope only
D)Accelerated chemical weathering exclusively
💡 Explanation
Increased sediment supply into streams occurs; the pyroclastic materials are unconsolidated and easily eroded promoting debris flows, triggering increased discharge; this mechanism leads to high sediment load input, because pyroclastic material is highly erodible; therefore sediment-rich flows occur, rather than increased floodplain fertility.
