← GeographyWhich destructive outcome escalates because strong earthquakes destabilize caldera flanks?
A)Enhanced pyroclastic flow occurrence✓
B)Increased geothermal energy production
C)Decreased frequency of eruptions
D)Diminished carbon dioxide sequestration
💡 Explanation
Destabilized caldera flanks from seismic shaking trigger landslides that exacerbate pyroclastic flows via increased debris entrainment, because it amplifies volume and speed thereof; therefore, pyroclastic risk escalates rather than decreasing energy production or CO2 sequestration.
