← GeographyWhich environmental consequence develops following sustained pyroclastic flows?
A)Widespread vegetation removal and lahars✓
B)Localized ozone depletion accelerates globally
C)Long-term thermohaline circulation slowing
D)Enhanced rates of silicon weathering occurs
💡 Explanation
Extensive vegetation will be destroyed by pyroclastic flows; rain then mobilizes loose debris into lahars because surface stabilization by plant roots is absent. Therefore widespread vegetation loss and lahars are expected, rather than ozone depletion or deep ocean changes.
