Which hazard results because unconfined pyroclastic density currents from a collapsed eruption column encounter topographic constraints?

💡 Explanation

Channelization causes increased flow, because confinement concentrates mass and momentum, therefore velocity amplification, rather than uniform spreading is favored; stratification requires density differences, sublimation concerns phase changes, radiation constrains heat, not particle settling.
