Which risk escalates inside deep canyons cutting through pyroclastic deposits?

💡 Explanation

Lahar formation increases after heavy rains because the Infiltration Excess Overland Flow mechanism rapidly saturates unstable pyroclastic material along steep canyon walls; therefore, lahars form easily down-canyon, rather than water slowly filtering stabilising the slopes.
