Which depositional outcome occurs when lava encounters glacial ice?

💡 Explanation

A jokulhaup flood occurs because lava causes rapid glacial melting; this produces a sudden, large volume of meltwater released catastrophically via the mechanism of glacial outburst flood. Therefore, it produces a huge flood, rather than streams, lakes or desert pavements which occur via different processes.

• Which mechanism alters regional rainfall patterns associated with changes deep-ocean thermohaline circulation?
• Which outcome occurs when wave diffraction focuses energy on coastal headlands exhibiting fractured stacks?
• Which risk increases when a rhyolitic lava dome nears collapse?
• Which risk increases when prolonged heavy rainfall saturates materials of completed coastal levees?
• Which landscape outcome occurs with intensified arid region winds?
• Which geological event results when strain overcomes friction along transform boundaries?
