← GeographyWhich risk increases sharply within unstable lava domes?
A)Intense solar UV radiation
B)Catastrophic dome collapse✓
C)Methane hydrate formation
D)Accelerated desertification process
💡 Explanation
Catastrophic dome collapse increases because the internal pressure and weakening of the dome structure exceeds its structural integrity allowing rapid outward and downward movement during gravitational instability. Therefore, an avalanche, rather than increased insolation, occurs abruptly.
