Which destructive outcome escalates because strong earthquakes destabilize caldera flanks?

💡 Explanation

Destabilized caldera flanks from seismic shaking trigger landslides that exacerbate pyroclastic flows via increased debris entrainment, because it amplifies volume and speed thereof; therefore, pyroclastic risk escalates rather than decreasing energy production or CO2 sequestration.
