Near a stratovolcano, which outcome occurs with increased flux of volatiles throughout a pyroclastic flow?

💡 Explanation

An increase volatile flux into a pyroclastic flow promotes fluidization, because this lowers friction between particles via increased gas pressure. Therefore, increased flow mobility results, rather than plume reduction because buoyancy rises with increased volatiles.
