← GeographyWhich hazard correlates with caldera formation's intense pyroclastic ejection?
A)Widespread deposition of thick ignimbrite✓
B)Localized basalt flow across valleys
C)Development of offshore coral bleaching
D)Episodic formation of alpine permafrost
💡 Explanation
Caldera collapses generate large pyroclastic flows; frictional heating within the flow rapidly welds ash into ignimbrite because this mechanism deposits materials thickly and quickly, therefore widespread deposition results, rather than basalt flows or distant ecological impacts from volcanic activity.
