Which outcome occurs when differential pressure increases within rhyolitic lava domes?

A)Phreatic eruption intensification develops faster
B)Plinian column formation increases gradually
C)Block and ash flow generation rises
D)Lahar development shifts downhill sharply

💡 Explanation

Block and ash flow generation increases during dome collapse, because high pressure causes increased instability and therefore debris avalanches from the dome's steep sides; rather than directly intensify phreatic activity with external water.
