Which risk increases when lahars encounter constrained channels?

A)Increased flow velocity and height
B)Decreased sediment deposition rates
C)Reduced erosion of channel banks
D)Enhanced lahar cooling and solidification

💡 Explanation

Channel constriction forces the lahar flow through a smaller area, resulting in increased flow velocity and height due to the conservation of mass; this amplifies the surge, because the flow energy rises, therefore 'A' rather than sediment changes.
