Which hazard is intensified as pyroclastic flows entrain air?

A)Flow front velocity increase
B)Rapid landscape chemical weathering
C)Decreased eruption column buoyancy
D)Increased pumice clast formation

💡 Explanation

Flow front velocity during a pyroclastic surge intensifies with increased volumes of entrained air via the venturi effect, because reduced pressure leads to acceleration; therefore, flow will move at higher speeds, rather than reducing buoyancy.
