Which outcome is caused on a volcanic lahar's energy as it transitions from confined channel to unconfined plain?

💡 Explanation

Increased lahar deposition occurs because energy dissipation triggers the **flow deceleration and spreading** over a wide unconfined area leading to increased friction and decreased carrying capacity; therefore, deposition occurs rather than erosion or pressure increase which occur in constricted settings.
