← GeographyWhich risk greatly increases after rapidly increasing lahar volume?
A)Valley incision and channel avulsion✓
B)Tephra fall air quality reduction
C)Increased sulfur dioxide aerosol forcing
D)Regional seismic surveying interference
💡 Explanation
Increased lahar volume initiates valley incision and promotes channel avulsion because sediment transport capacity surpasses the channel's ability to stabilize through lateral migration and erosion. Therefore avulsion is more likely, rather than volcanic gas or ashfall impacts.
