← GeographyWhich pyroclastic outcome occurs when volcanic ash accumulates?
A)Lahars increase downstream debris flow✓
B)Pyroclastic surge dynamic pressure drop
C)Shield volcano basalt flooding stops
D)Fumarole sulfur precipitation sharply declines
💡 Explanation
Lahars increase downstream debris flow because significant rainfall infiltrates unconsolidated volcanic ash deposits, creating unstable slurries; therefore, the increased debris discharge is correct, rather than immediate eruptive effects from the pyroclastic flow itself.
