Which process limits internal dome growth in viscous lava?

💡 Explanation

Dome growth is limited by the maximum flow rate possible for highly viscous lava, using a viscosity-controlled effusion rate, because increased dome size slows the extrusion; therefore, volumetric expansion ceases, rather than atmospheric convection affecting lava temperature significantly.
