Which consequence results when highly viscous lava exceeds its yield strength?

💡 Explanation

A lava dome develops when resistance dominates; lava pushes to reach yield, experiences strain localization, generating an expanding bulge rather than spreading. Therefore, a dome forms, because lahar formation or joints require volatile-rich lava or thermal contraction instead.
