← GeographyWhich risk increases significantly after emplacement of ignimbrite?
A)Lahars initiated by rainfall erosion✓
B)Fumarole activity near cooled vents
C)Pyroclastic surge over distal flanks
D)Lava dome instability from outgassing
💡 Explanation
Increased risk comes because the ignimbrite consists of unconsolidated pyroclastic material. Intense rainfall can trigger debris flows, named lahars. Such flows are more likely after emplacement, rather than increased eruption column formation.
