Which risk significantly increases downwind subsequent to sustained tephra deposition?

💡 Explanation

Sustained tephra deposition increases the likelihood of lahars because the tephra mixes with water from rainfall or melting snow and ice, creating a dense, fast-moving mudflow; therefore, lahar risk escalates rather than accelerated soil formation.
