← GeographyAfter prolonged tephra fall, which hazard increases because of landscape destabilization?
A)Regional debris flow surges✓
B)Atmospheric ozone layer depletion
C)Increased stratospheric aerosol albedo
D)Decreased evaporative water loss
💡 Explanation
Debris flow risk rises because tephra deposition causes sediment loading, leading to slope instability via gravitational force overcoming friction. Therefore surges are expected, rather than albedo changes, because deposition directly influences hydrology and stability.
