Which outcome commonly results when viscous lava flows?

A)Development of steep-sided lava domes
B)Formation of extensive basaltic plains
C)Widespread deposition of fine ash
D)Creation of deep, broad calderas

💡 Explanation

Steep-sided lava domes develop because high viscosity resists flowing far; therefore, lava accumulates near the vent, forming a dome shape, rather than spreading thinly like basaltic flows, caused by high effusion rates.
