Which outcome results when rapid snowmelt intensifies lahars?

💡 Explanation

Increased snowmelt adds liquid volume, thus enhancing the lahar's ability to entrain and transport material, leading to increased flow sediment concentration because the added water increases erosion and bulking; therefore sediment increases, rather than altering plume chemistry.
