Which outcome results when pyroclastic density currents deposit ignimbrite?

A)Formation of welded tuff layers
B)Creation of lahars in valleys
C)Development of cinder cone volcanoes
D)Glacial ice sheet formation

💡 Explanation

Welded tuff layers form because, during ignimbrite deposition, the extreme heat fuses ash particles via viscous sintering. Therefore, forming a solid rock layer, rather than lahars relating to sediment mixing or different volcanic structures elsewhere.
