← GeographyWhich consequence results when volcanic tephra accumulates rapidly?
A)Increased lahars formation downstream✓
B)Reduced local geothermal gradient
C)Enhanced stratospheric ozone depletion
D)Stabilized regional seismic activity
💡 Explanation
Increased lahar formation will occur because heavy tephra accumulation saturates soil, triggering debris flows; therefore, landslides are more frequent because the increased weight destabilizes slopes, rather than stabilizing seismic activity.
