← GeographyWhich primary volcanic outcome from coastal subduction increases tsunami risk?
A)Caldera collapse generating megatsunamis✓
B)Pyroclastic flow altering nearshore bathymetry
C)Lahar blocking coastal river mouths
D)Ashfall disrupting offshore navigation
💡 Explanation
Caldera collapse after massive eruptions generates megatsunamis via sudden displacement, because gravitational potential energy converts efficiently into kinetic energy. Therefore a caldera collapse is the correct answer rather than smaller, localized effects of lahars or pyroclastic flows.
