← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when heavy tephra fall accumulates?
A)Roof collapse due to excessive weight✓
B)Increased photosynthesis from enriched soil
C)Enhanced seismic wave propagation
D)Reduced cloud condensation nuclei formation
💡 Explanation
Roof collapse results from tephra overloading structures because the excessive load exceeds engineered stress limits; therefore, the answer is roof failure rather than enhanced seismicity, which requires tectonic activity.
