Which outcome occurs when lahars deposit unconsolidated sediment?

💡 Explanation

Decreased groundwater inflitration occurs because lahar deposits compact pore spaces, therefore reducing permeability—the mechanism limiting fluid flow through strata—rather than increasing incision rates; infiltration is hindered rather than enhanced by hardened deposits.
