← GeographyWhich risk increases when Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull releases excessive tephra?
A)Aircraft engine flameout at cruising altitude✓
B)Increased global albedo from stratospheric aerosols
C)Widespread iodine deficiency across Northern Europe
D)Decreased acidity of Scandinavian lake systems
💡 Explanation
Aircraft engine flameout risk increases due to Absorption and Re-emission of incoming heat in turbine sections, because tephra introduced to jet engines melts and solidifies on turbine blades impairing airflow, therefore leading to engine failure, rather than other global effects.
