Which mechanism causes levees parallel to pyroclastic flows?

A)Lateral particle pressure separation
B)Progressive marginal accumulation
C)Differential thermal convection cells
D)Boundary layer viscosity shielding

💡 Explanation

Levees form alongside pyroclastic flows through progressive marginal accumulation, because coarser particles deposit at the flow edges as velocity reduces, therefore creating natural embankments, rather than effects by particle pressure and related mechanisms.
