← GeographyWhich consequence results when rapid pyroclastic flow deposition?
A)Formation of ignimbrite rock sheets✓
B)Localized increase in surface albedo
C)Reduction of atmospheric carbon dioxide
D)Acceleration of glacial ice melt
💡 Explanation
Ignimbrite forms when pyroclastic flows deposit material that consolidates under heat and pressure via welding, because rapid deposition retains heat, therefore promoting sintering and vitrification processes, rather than albedo change under normal conditions
