Which outcome usually occurs because internal pressure increases inside a growing volcanic dome?

A)Violent explosive eruption initiation✓

B)Steady lava flow reduction

C)Stratified layer formation increase

D)Progressive dome density stabilization

💡 Explanation

Increased internal pressure within a volcanic dome overcomes material strength through the mechanism of over-pressurization, leading to explosive eruption rather than stable conditions, because volatile expansion causes rapid disintegration; therefore, explosive eruptions occur, rather than steady lava flows.
