Which outcome occurs when high-viscosity silica lava flows?

💡 Explanation

Extrusive domes form because viscous silica-rich lava possesses high resistance to flow; volcanic dome building is the mechanism. Therefore, lava accumulates near the vent, rather than spreading widely or forming ash clouds, due to its inherent properties preventing effusion.
