← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when significant tephra deposition buries grasslands?
A)Initial albedo greatly decreases✓
B)Accelerated chemical weathering of bedrock
C)Enhanced surface evaporation rate occurs
D)Decreased local soil acidity forms
💡 Explanation
Albedo decreases because darker ash absorbs more solar radiation in place of reflective plants via tephra accumulation. Surface albedo decreases immediately rather than increasing weathering etc, therefore albedo best represents the direct consequence.
