Which risk substantially increases around composite volcanoes during periods of heightened lava effusion?

💡 Explanation

The risk of lahars increases due to lava melting snow/ice, creating unstable flows, this is called volcanic debris flow. Lahar generation dominates during lava effusion events, rather than acceleration of ablation, metal enrichment, stratospheric changes, because of rapid thermal imbalances.
