← GeographyWhich risk increases when volcanic ashfall increases drastically?
A)Geothermal power plant turbine failure✓
B)Enhanced coastal erosion rates
C)Increased rate of glacial sublimation
D)Expansion of desertification zones
💡 Explanation
Volcanic ash entrained in intake air causes abrasion that results in turbine blade failure because excessive wear exceeds designed material tolerance; therefore power output decreases, rather than climate effects from ashfall's deposition.
