← GeographyWhich process limits magma dome growth following eruption?
A)Viscosity-driven pressure balance✓
B)Isostatic rebound dynamics
C)Barometric pressure variation
D)Ephemeral hydrothermal convection
💡 Explanation
Viscosity increases resistance to flow, influencing pressure distributions within a sealed dome, culminating in internal equilibrium and limiting magma input because pressure increases overwhelm dome integrity; therefore dome volume stabilizes, rather than expanding due to sustained magma supply and reduced resistance.
