← GeographyWhich outcome usually occurs during the effusive eruption inflating a rhyolitic lava dome?
A)Increased pyroclastic flow generation rate
B)Diminished surface flow rate locally
C)Rapid ash cloud formation over dome
D)Heightened flank instability development rate✓
💡 Explanation
Heightened flank instability increases, because magma swells the topographic bulge, and the increased gravitational stress overcomes the shear strength, therefore landslides become more frequent, rather than only direct eruptions forming pyroclastic phenomena.
