Which outcome occurs when a lava dome collapses?

A)Pyroclastic flow generation
B)Shield volcano formation
C)Deep ocean trench creation
D)Glacial isostatic rebound

💡 Explanation

A lava dome collapse leads to pyroclastic flow generation because gravitational instability causes the dome material to rapidly descend as a density current down the volcano's slopes; therefore, pyroclastic flows are created, rather than other volcanic landforms forming.
