Which catastrophic impact happens because shield volcanoes exceed capacity?

💡 Explanation

Lateral blasts can arise when shield volcanoes become over-steepened; gravitational instability triggers sector collapse leading to rapid decompression, rather than gradual tephra fall, because pressure release isn't uniform, therefore inducing a lateral surge.
