Which consequence results when rapid cooling arrests lava flowing uphill?

A)Formation of pressure ridges or tumuli
B)Development of lahar-dominated drainage patterns
C)Increased sulfur dioxide ash plumes
D)Accelerated chemical weathering via hydrolysis

💡 Explanation

Pressure ridges/tumuli form on lava surfaces when cooling creates a solidified crust, because lava flow stagnates against inclines promoting back-pressure, therefore crustal buckling occurs, rather than lahar generation or atmospheric effects.
