Which outcome results when pyroclastic flow encounters glacial ice?

A)Formation of a jökulhlaup flood
B)Increased atmospheric carbon sequestration
C)Creation of pillow lava structures
D)Stabilization of volcanic seismicity

💡 Explanation

A jökulhlaup flood occurs because a pyroclastic flow's extreme heat rapidly melts glacial ice, causing a sudden, large release of water via the mechanism of ablation and subsequent river overflow. Therefore, flooding results rather than carbon sequestration or lava features formed in different conditions.
