Which process most directly inhibits crust formation around rhyolitic lava domes?

💡 Explanation

High magma viscosity leads to increased yield strength. The inhibiting process is viscous deformation rate because slow viscous flow restricts the outflow around the dome; therefore, crystallization doesn't fully form the outer crust, rather than convective heat loss.
