Which consequence results when pyroclastic surge mobilizes tephra downstream?

💡 Explanation

Glacial ice incorporates dark tephra during flash floods; albedo decreases because of increased surface area. This enhances insolation absorption by reduced albedo (positive feedback), therefore accelerated ablation occurs, rather than cooling or limiting evapotranspiration.
