Which risk escalates when shield volcano slope instability occurs?

💡 Explanation

A slope collapse creates instability and can cause a debris avalanche because gravity pulls down material rapidly. This process increases the flow velocity of volcanic debris, therefore increasing landslide risk, rather than other volcanic hazards.

• Which consequence results when wave-supported abrasion weakens coastal cliffs?
• Which mechanism causes deflection of prevailing winds, influencing ocean currents and storm tracks, in mid-latitude regions?
• Which outcome occurs when a river's meander erodes the neck, bypassing flow?
