What outcome during flood basalt eruption maximizes atmospheric sulfur release?

💡 Explanation

Sulfur from organic wetland sediment oxidizes upon lava contact, and rapid convection disperses gas, rather than degassing slowly due to surface crusting. High viscosity reduces lava dispersion, hence less burning area. The mechanism is oxidation and convection because oxygen must oxidize the compounds.
