Which environmental shift occurs following a large composite volcano eruption's pyroclastic surge?

💡 Explanation

A pyroclastic surge's high temperature and toxic gases induce successional dieback because plants cannot recover directly from acute devastation, rather than geothermal heating or phytoplankton response; therefore, the ecosystem initially collapses.

• Which process restricts floodplain development alongside a steep alluvial fan?
• Which risk increases when a deep-seated creep along a transform fault suddenly transitions to stick-slip behavior?
• Which phenomenon causes uplift and subsidence flanking strike-slip faults during rupture events?
