← GeographyWhich risk significantly escalates following lava crystallization crust formation?
A)Increased likelihood of basalt column fracturing
B)Higher rates of subsequent ocean acidification
C)Escalation of gas pressure beneath surface✓
D)Greater thermal conductivity throughout flow
💡 Explanation
Gas pressure increases because crystallization and crust formation constricts gas escape, intensifying vesiculation. This creates overpressure and potential explosions, therefore increasing explosive events rather than basalt fracturing, ocean effect or flow heat transfer.
