Which erosional effect results from prolonged lahar flows?

💡 Explanation

Lahars, mixtures of volcanic ash and water, transport significant sediment; therefore, they cause downcutting because this process results in the "abrasion" mechanical weathering and deepened channels, rather than lateral erosion or floodplain development.
