← GeographyWhich event results when rapidly cooling viscous lava obstructs volcanic vents?
A)Pyroclastic density current formation
B)Formation of a lava dome✓
C)Accelerated rate of glacial erosion
D)Increase in atmospheric carbon sequestration
💡 Explanation
A lava dome forms via effusive eruption because high viscosity prevents lava spreading; therefore, magma piles up near the vent, rather than forming a lava flow over long distances.
