← GeographyWhich volcanic hazard increases due to lahar-induced blockage?
A)Sudden catastrophic outburst floods✓
B)Rapid stratovolcano flank destabilization
C)Shield volcano magma effervescence
D)Basltic lava viscosity fluctuation
💡 Explanation
Catastrophic outburst floods downstream rise because debris flow accumulation reduces channel capacity. This backup causes damming, culminating in catastrophic failure due to increased hydrostatic pressure, rather than affecting lava properties or causing volcano instability.
