← GeographyWhich risk increases for nearby communities when a rhyolitic lava dome's growth stalls?
A)Accelerated rates of caldera collapse
B)Increased probability of pyroclastic flows✓
C)Higher frequency of harmonic tremors
D)Greater emission of sulfurous fumes
💡 Explanation
Pyroclastic flow risk elevates because pressure builds within the solidified dome until it explosively breaches; therefore, a stalled dome is more dangerous than a constantly flowing one, rather than leading to caldera collapse which typically proceeds slowly.
