← GeographyWhich phenomenon causes lahars with destructive debris flows?
A)Glacial outburst flood (jökulhlaup)✓
B)Isostatic glacial rebound uplift
C)Stratospheric ozone concentration drop
D)Magnetospheric plasma sheet instability
💡 Explanation
A jökulhlaup generates massive debris flows because ice melts due to geothermal or volcanic activity, forming a slurry; therefore lahars follow the valleys rather than other geophysical upheavals, which cause crustal shifting.
