← GeographyWhich consequence typically arises from fine-grained pyroclastic eruptions entering stratospheric air currents?
A)Enhanced albedo and widespread cooling✓
B)Increased local thunderstorm frequency
C)Localized acid rain intensification
D)Geothermal power generation increase
💡 Explanation
Widespread cooling emerges because stratospheric dispersal leads to increased albedo; fine particles reflect sunlight back into space due to stratospheric aerosol injection, therefore cooling occurs rather than alternative outcomes such as localized weather changes near the eruption.
