Which outcome occurs when pyroclastic density currents incorporate atmospheric moisture?

💡 Explanation

The formation of lahars occurs because incorporation of moisture creates mudflows; this is driven by the mechanism of debris flow. Lahars are composed of pyroclastic material and water, therefore increasing their destructive potential, rather than changing composition.
