← GeographyWhich immediate outcome occurs following excessive effusive eruption?
A)Formation of extensive lava plains.✓
B)Increase in atmospheric ozone levels.
C)Decreased geothermal gradient locally.
D)Increased global albedo effect.
💡 Explanation
Extensive lava plains result from effusive eruptions because the low-viscosity magma flows readily; therefore, the lava spreads over a large area, forming plains rather than steep cones. Magma outflow is the direct mechanism.
