Which outcome results near shield volcanoes with pahoehoe flows?

A)Formation of lava tubes
B)Pyroclastic surge initiation
C)Gully erosion intensification
D)Caldera collapse acceleration

💡 Explanation

Lava tubes form because increased surface crust viscosity prevents radiative heat loss initiating channelization; this is laminar flow. Therefore, tubes form, rather than immediate cooling, which would cause sheet flows or explosive eruptions from increased gas pressure.
