← GeographyWhat outcome increases when viscous magma plugs fractures?
A)Elevated pyroclastic flow occurrence area✓
B)Expanded hydrothermal vent formations
C)Accelerated shield volcano propagation
D)Reduced effusive fissure development rate
💡 Explanation
Elevated pyroclastic flow occurrence increases because dome instability caused by magma crystallization creates overpressure and thus, catastrophic collapse rather than slow, sustained outgassing; therefore pyroclastic flows result, creating area effects.
