← GeographyWhich risk significantly increases downwind when sustained tephra plumes erupt?
A)Regional drinking water nitrate contamination
B)Localized atmospheric ionizing particle increases
C)Long-distance communication system infrastructure interruptions✓
D)Localized ecosystem heavy metal enrichments
💡 Explanation
Long-distance communication systems at lower latitudes face significant risks because tephra particle electrostatic charging and widespread corona discharge causes increased signal attenuation. Therefore interruptions are likely rather than just enrichment since the dust disrupts normal operation.
