Which outcome occurs when heavy pyroclastic flows enter lakes?

💡 Explanation

A density current forms because the high density of pyroclastic material moving through cooler lake water creates turbidity flow; therefore, this displaces ambient water rather than altering hydrothermal vent convection, due to being independent forcing effects.
