← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when lahars flow into established riverbeds?
A)Increased riverbed erosion downstream rapidly✓
B)Enhanced floodplain infiltration immediately happens
C)Regional groundwater recharge reduction forms
D)Aquatic ecosystem diversification quickly appears
💡 Explanation
Increased riverbed erosion occurs as lahars, a type of mudflow, displace water, because they carry a high sediment concentration. Abrasive forces dominate via fluvial erosion; therefore downstream areas experience extreme soil loss, rather than the reversed effects of alternative choices.
