Which 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.
