Which outcome results when pyroclastic density currents encounter topographic obstacles?

💡 Explanation

Localized surge pockets form because the flow compresses due to the topographic barrier which initiates a process of Boundary Layer Separation; therefore, these create turbulent, ash-rich regions rather than ceasing entrainment.
