← GeographyWhich consequence results when pyroclastic flows accelerate downslope?
A)Increased granular flow fluidization✓
B)Decreased atmospheric carbon sequestration
C)Enhanced fluvial sediment transport
D)Reduced regional albedo variability
💡 Explanation
Increased downslope velocity enhances granular flow fluidization because turbulent kinetic energy increases particle suspension, therefore decreasing effective friction, rather than the other mechanisms influencing regional climate or sediment transport.
