← GeographyWhich erosional outcome occurs when thick tephra deposits accumulate?
A)Lahars bury low-lying land✓
B)Reverse faults form rapidly
C)Glacial advance accelerates locally
D)Ventifacts mark desert pavements
💡 Explanation
Lahars can occur because high volumes of tephra saturate with water during rain events, resulting in debris flows; this mudflow is called a lahar. Therefore lahars become hazardous, rather than ventifact formation which occurs due to long-term wind abrasion.
