Which landform results in cooler regions when lava highly enriched with silica reaches the surface?

💡 Explanation

A lava dome forms when viscous, silica-rich lava cools rapidly upon exiting because the high viscosity prevents it from flowing far; therefore, cooler regions arise around the dome, rather than widespread warming as with more fluid lava.
