← GeographyWhich outcome will likely occur following sustained pyroclastic surges within a deeply eroded valley?
A)Formation of an ignimbrite sheet✓
B)Increased frequency of glacial calving
C)Elevated rates of chemical weathering
D)Substantial decrease in soil porosity
💡 Explanation
The formation of an ignimbrite sheet will occur because pyroclastic flows deposit and consolidate ash and rock resulting in `aggradation`, therefore creating a vast deposit, rather than increased glacial activity, chemical weathering changes or porosity decreases.
