← GeographyWhich risk increases when differential pressure forces magma into forming volcanic domes underneath a glacier?
A)Accelerated ice sheet basal sliding✓
B)Decreased regional geothermal activity
C)Diminished subglacial lake development
D)Reduced sediment deposition rates
💡 Explanation
Accelerated ice sheet basal sliding increases because the increased pressure melts the ice directly above the dome, causing enhanced lubrication at the ice-bedrock interface due to pressure melting, therefore promoting ice flow rather than diminishing geothermal heat.
