Which outcome occurs when considerable tephra accumulates in drainage networks?

💡 Explanation

Tephra deposited in streams increases the risk of lahars, because saturation mobilizes the unstable material with limited binding cohesion resulting in mudflows; therefore, lahar formation is likely, rather than enhanced geothermal power or accelerated coastal erosion.
