Which outcome occurs when magma emplacement exceeds effusion?

💡 Explanation

A lava dome develops because magma flux into a shallow magma reservoir exceeds the rate of magma extrusion onto the surface; this `viscous accumulation` forces the surface upwards, rather than fluid lava flowing freely across the area. Therefore, a dome forms rather than a widespread eruption.
