Which risk increases when a rhyolitic lava dome rapidly degasses?

💡 Explanation

Rapid degassing causes increased pressure and potential unloading, triggering explosive fragmentation via vesiculation. The resulting pyroclastic flow is due to column collapse because the fragmented dome material is too dense, rather than forming effusive lava flows or geothermal resources.
