Which process explains coastal land subsidence during eruptions forming volcanic domes?

💡 Explanation

Viscoelastic relaxation occurs because the earth slowly deforms after the magma chamber empties, leading to surface sinking around the dome rim; therefore, it dominates in regional subsidence rather than faster isostatic adjustments or local plate-driven uplift.
