← GeographyFollowing a volcanic eruption, what feature indicates renewed magma ascent to form a lava dome?
A)Heightened sulfur dioxide gas emissions✓
B)Increased seismic wave velocity
C)Decreased geothermal water acidity
D)Elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide level
💡 Explanation
Heightened sulfur dioxide emissions indicate magma rising toward the volcano's surface which precedes dome formation because degassing increases with proximity to the surface through convection; therefore heightened gasses, rather than seismic changes, are the indicator.
