Which risk increases when rhyolitic magma's volatile content rises?

💡 Explanation

Increased volatile content enhances magma fragmentation via Vesiculation, because expanding gas bubbles lead to explosive eruptions and pyroclastic flows; therefore, pyroclastic flow risk rises, rather than producing effusive lava flows, which need lower gas content.
