Which consequence results when significant atmospheric moisture interacts with pyroclastic surge?

💡 Explanation

Lahar flows become more likely because sudden cooling by atmospheric moisture triggers the mechanism of rapid debris flow consolidation, accelerating downslope movement. Therefore, lahar formation, rather than other events, results in this cooling effect.
