Which outcome occurs when subsurface magma composition changes during effusive eruption?

A)Formation of a lava dome
B)Rapid lahar generation downstream
C)Intensified block and ash flows
D)Violent Plinian eruption onset

💡 Explanation

Lava dome formation occurs because increased silica encourages viscous SURFACE _degassing_, therefore lava quickly solidifies in the vent, rather than generating lateral pyroclastic flows. Lahars needs additional moisture source involvement to occur.
