← GeographyWhich outcome results when a caldera experiences resurgence?
A)Formation of a lava dome✓
B)Increased pyroclastic density flows
C)Global cooling intensification
D)Accelerated subduction nearby volcanoes
💡 Explanation
Resurgent calderas involve slow uplift due to magma accumulation; this positive feedback causes a central lava dome because plastic deformation of the partly crystallized magma creates surface extrusion, therefore a dome forms rather than a pyroclastic surge.
