Which risk significantly increases along major river valleys adjacent to volcanic areas following substantial pyroclastic flows?

💡 Explanation

Increased seasonal flooding typically follows substantial pyroclastic flow events, because debris dams form due to **aggradation**, blocking and later releasing large volumes of water; therefore flooding drastically increases, rather than decreased recharge or glacial melting affecting flow.
