← GeographyWhich erosion pattern develops following pyroclastic surge deposition?
A)Inverted topography valley formation✓
B)Parallel drainage channel incision
C)Radial drainage pattern establishment
D)Entrenched meander development onset
💡 Explanation
Inverted topography forms because cementation by leached materials within pyroclastic surges preferentially hardens valley bottoms, enabling erosion-resistant ridges rather than susceptible valleys; therefore, valleys become ridges rather than plains or gullies, due to differential cementation.
