Which outcome occurs when the upwelling lava's flow is significantly decreased?

💡 Explanation

A lava dome will form because decreased lava fluidity coupled with persistent but reduced upwelling leads to localized piling up of the lava; the mechanism is viscous deformation. Therefore, a lava dome creates mounds rather than flows.
