← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when increased tephra plume static?
A)Enhanced atmospheric electrical discharge potential✓
B)Decreased local stratospheric ozone recovery
C)Suppressed convective weather cloud development
D)Reduced global average surface albedo
💡 Explanation
Enhanced atmospheric electric discharge can occur because charge separation via triboelectric charging during tephra's explosive eruption generates extreme static electricity. The electrostatic induction causes the electrical discharge, rather than cloud development that may instead get suppressed because solar radiation becomes blocked preventing convection.
