Which outcome is LEAST likely when laminar pyroclastic flows encounter uneven sloping terrain?

💡 Explanation

Uniform deposition is less likely because the **flow separation** caused by uneven terrain results in variations in velocity and deposition thickness; therefore, turbulent surges and channelized erosion occur rather than uniform layers because topography diverts the flows.
