← GeographyWhat fallout risk increases downwind following explosive Hawaiian-style volcanic activity?
A)Increased building roof collapse probability✓
B)Accelerated formation of lahars nearby
C)Localized increase in ground temperature
D)Depletion of stratospheric ozone layer
💡 Explanation
Fine tephra accumulating on structures increases the load, hence static stress intensification causes roof structures to surpass their bearing strength and fail, because accumulated weight overcomes construction tolerances; therefore roofs collapse rather than ozone deplete.
