← GeographyWhich outcome results when volcanic vent instability causes increased mass flow?
A)Lateral blast eruption intensification✓
B)Magma chamber crystal fractionation
C)Increased sulfur dioxide solubility
D)Enhanced regional albedo reflection
💡 Explanation
A destabilized volcanic vent causes a lateral blast eruption because vent collapse reduces confining pressure, triggering explosive decompression, therefore intensifying the sideways ejection of material rather than purely vertical eruption phases.
