Which outcome arises near a transform fault zone with high silica content?

💡 Explanation

Explosive eruptions may result because rising magma interacts with silica-rich crust along strike-slip faults, increasing viscosity; therefore, a violent release occurs rather than effusive flows that would spread horizontally given lower viscosity.

• Which risk increases when long-term creep along a transform fault locks energy without slippage?
• Which process explains localized mantle upwelling leading to intraplate volcanism like Hawaii?
• Which surface deformation commonly results from seasonal solifluction in subarctic tundra caused by melting permafrost?
• Which outcome accelerates desert pavement formation when flash floods occur?
• Which process primarily influences the stability of fjord slopes following glacial retreat, potentially leading to landslides?
• Which risk increases when degassing pathways become blocked within a volcanic dome?
