Which consequence results when a pyroclastic surge encounters subsurface groundwater?

A)Formation of lahars rapidly increases
B)Lava dome stability improves locally
C)Venturi effect reverses tephra dispersal
D)Solfataric alteration accelerates exponentially

💡 Explanation

The groundwater flash-boils during a pyroclastic surge, initiating a lahar because the mixing of hot ash with water mobilizes it downslope; therefore, the lahar risk increases, rather than altering dome stability, reversing dispersal patterns, or accelerating alteration.
