← GeographyWhich risk increases drastically due to prolonged tephra fallout near active stratovolcanoes?
A)Abrasive wear in hydroelectric turbine blades✓
B)Compromised bridge structural integrity from corrosion
C)Reduced photosynthetic efficiency in alpine forests
D)Increased sediment deposition in coastal estuaries
💡 Explanation
Abrasive wear risks intensify during tephra fallout because fine volcanic ash erodes turbine surfaces via abrasion, rather than other corrosive effects, therefore, requiring costly repairs; rather than forest shading/sedimentary/structural issues.
