← GeographyDuring lava flow on steep slopes, which cooling mechanism maximizes 'A'a formation?
A)Radiative heat loss dominates surface tension✓
B)Viscosity increases due to shear-thinning liquids
C)Convective cooling overcomes viscous dissipation
D)Latent heat fusion increases melting rate
💡 Explanation
Radiative heat loss promotes rapid crust formation, because increased surface tension leads to brittle fracturing, forming 'A'a lava. Therefore, cooling increases surface roughness rather than shear thinning reducing viscosity alternatives.
