Which outcome occurs when lahar viscosity increases during a flow event?

💡 Explanation

Increased lahar viscosity increases bank overtopping, because internal resistance increases via momentum transfer, causing the lahar to bulge as it flows slowly, therefore fluid pressure overcomes boundaries, rather than maintaining a channel owing to low viscous resistance.
