← GeographyWhich risk sharply ascends after a pyroclastic surge?
A)Glacier Jokulhaup formation
B)Lahars flowing downhill✓
C)Sinkhole formations enlarging
D)Aquifer water tables depletion
💡 Explanation
An intense pyroclastic flow will deposit hot ash on landscapes, because rapid melting of snow/ice or intense rainfall mixes with such ash, creating potentially devastating lahars; therefore enhanced lahar hazard, rather than glacial melt water accumulation or sinkhole enlargement.
