Which outcome arises when heavy tephra accumulates post-eruption?

💡 Explanation

Lahars initiate because excess tephra increases overland flow via water-induced bulk transport; this saturation triggers mudslides. Therefore, lahars form, rather than changes to magma or eruption style, which depend on internal volcanic processes.
