Which outcome occurs when airborne tephra accumulates beyond capacity?

💡 Explanation

Glacial outburst floods intensify, due to increased surface albedo from tephra reducing ice melt rate, therefore, stabilizing ice dams. This delays glacial melting and accumulation leading to increased flood intensity, rather than other atmospheric or oceanic effects.
