Which consequence results when thixotropy reduction occurs within debris flows?

💡 Explanation

Increased flow velocity develops because shearing reduces viscosity during thixotropy reduction; therefore, velocities increase, rather than seeing accelerated deposition, stratification changes, or slower lahar initiation. The mechanism is shear thinning.
