Which of the choices below lists three volcanic hazards other than pyroclastic flows and lahars?

A. Volcanic gases' effects on respiration, nue´e ardentes, and volcanically generated tsunamis.
B. Volcanically generated tsunamis, atmospheric cooling, and sulfur dioxide ruining vegetation via the groundwater.
C. Unsafe flying conditions due to ejected ash, volcanically generated tsunamis, and sulfur dioxide ruining vegetation via the groundwater.
D. Atmospheric warming from ejected ash, volcanically generated tsunamis, and sulfur dioxide ruining vegetation via the groundwater.

Answer :

Final answer:

Volcanic hazards excluding pyroclastic flows and lahars include volcanic gases affecting respiration, atmospheric cooling due to ash, and volcanically generated tsunamis.

Explanation:

Three volcanic hazards other than pyroclastic flows and lahars include the effects of volcanic gases on respiration, atmospheric cooling from ejected ash, and volcanically generated tsunamis.

These hazards are significant because they can cause respiratory problems, affect global climate, and lead to devastating waves capable of traveling long distances. It is important to note that nueé ardentes, mentioned in one of the options, is another name for a pyroclastic flow, which you've been asked to exclude from your choices.
