← GeographyWhich consequence frequently results when heavy tephra accumulates downwind?
A)Building structural roof collapse✓
B)Increased albedo cooling effects
C)Enhanced soil formation processes
D)Rapid groundwater infiltration increases
💡 Explanation
Structural roof collapse occurs from accumulated tephra because the increased weight exceeds design tolerances, causing structural failure of the roof; therefore, collapse occurs rather than albedo change as the distribution is uneven, preventing widespread reflection.
