← GeographyWhich volcanic risk increases following a lava dome collapse?
A)Increased risk of lahars✓
B)Heightened risk of vog formation
C)Diminished ashfall duration
D)Reduced SO₂ emission levels
💡 Explanation
Lava dome collapse can trigger lahars because it releases debris and unstable material that mixes with water and flows downhill as devastating mudflows; therefore, greater debris volumes raises lahar risk, rather than decreasing it or creating volcanic fog (vog).
