Which increased risk occurs when increased pore fluid pressure exists along a fault line near a silicic magma chamber?

💡 Explanation

An intense, shallow volcanic eruption results because elevated pore fluid pressure reduces effective stress, promoting brittle failure; this Fracture Propagation causes magma ascent from otherwise stable chambers. Therefore, explosive eruption rather than effusive events occurs because volatile content decreases with longer magma residence times.
