Which outcome occurs when pyroclastic flow interacts cryosphere environments?

💡 Explanation

Glacial outburst floods happen due to rapid ice melting because the intense heat transfer causes ablation from pyroclastic events. This influx increases water volumes rapidly creating jokulhaups, therefore sudden discharges overtop moraine dams, rather than only incremental drainage increase.
