← GeographyWhich consequence results when lava's rheological properties change?
A)Varied volcano edifice morphology forms✓
B)Increased seismic activity throughout region
C)Decreased atmospheric aerosol loading observed
D)Greater carbon sequestration in surrounding rocks
💡 Explanation
Varied volcano morphology forms as viscosity influences if lava spreads thinly or piles up; this is due to changes in viscous fingering. A lava's composition directly affects its viscosity because differences in silica content alter polymerization, therefore changing flow morphology rather than affecting regional seismicity or carbon cycles.
