Which risk significantly increases upon encountering phreatomagmatic events at stratovolcanoes?

A)Increased lateral blast potential
B)Decreased lahar formation likelihood
C)Enhanced effusive lava flow longevity
D)Reduced pyroclastic density current mobility

💡 Explanation

Lateral blast potential intensifies because rapid steam expansion from water interaction enhances Fragmentation. This over-pressurizes the volcanic system, therefore blasts occur rather than typical eruptions, differing from simpler explosions.
