Which outcome occurs when heavy tephra accumulation collapses structures?

💡 Explanation

Structural collapse from tephra deposition triggers isostatic rebound; crustal uplift changes local gradients because material redistributes to achieve equilibrium. Drainage alters; therefore, the correct answer is isostatic rebound, rather than weathering, seismic effects, or altered albedo which are unrelated to such structural failure.
