← GeographyWhich weather phenomenon amplifies flood risk following pyroclastic eruptions?
A)Increased surface water runoff✓
B)Rapid snow and ice melt
C)Dust-induced cloud condensation
D)Volcanic lightning storm activity
💡 Explanation
Increased surface water runoff occurs because pyroclastic flows deposit impermeable layers of ash and debris, thereby reducing infiltration; therefore, rainfall rapidly accumulates, rather than being absorbed, increasing floods.
