Which risk increases when glacial meltwater outburst interacts?

A)Increased volcaniclastic debris flow hazards
B)Reduced isostatic rebound adjustment rate
C)Accelerated chemical weathering rates
D)Decreased coastal saltwater intrusion extent

💡 Explanation

Increased debris flow risk occurs due to enhanced **slope destabilization**. Meltwater saturates volcanic ash deposits, reducing shear strength, because of increased pore pressure; therefore volcaniclastic flows increase, rather than other hydrogeological changes.
