Which risk increases during volcanic eruptions featuring Plinian columns?

💡 Explanation

Widespread tephra dispersal increases because Plinian eruptions involve high-altitude explosive ejection of pyroclastic material undergoing atmospheric transport via advection; therefore tephra impacts vast regions, rather than localized blasts near the vent.
