← GeographyFollowing a Plinian eruption, which effect is primarily determined by air entry during pyroclastic density current propagation?
A)Flow front surge and pulses✓
B)Magmatic gas content decrease rate
C)Lithic clast density in ash
D)Tephra’s subsequent deposit sorting
💡 Explanation
Pyroclastic density current behavior is influenced, because air entry affects bulk density via fluidization which sets propagation modes. Therefore, flow front surges form, rather than changes relating wholly to magma properties; air's impact during current formation predetermines segregation of materials.
