After volcanic caldera collapse, which process causes agglutinated vent spatter formation?

A)Lava fountain fluidal splash
B)Pyroclastic surge accumulation
C)Laharic debris field cooling
D)Hydrothermal vent mineralization

💡 Explanation

Fluidal splash occurs because molten ejecta has low viscosity, therefore vent spatter can agglutinate extensively before cooling; rather than lithifying into discrete masses typical of pyroclastic flows which involve different fragmentation transport mechanisms.
