← GeographyWhich gas emission regime dominates within persistent lava lakes?
A)Open system degassing controls fluctuations✓
B)Conduit blockage raises gas pressure
C)Rayleigh fractionation alters isotope signatures
D)Crust formation causes cyclical bursts
💡 Explanation
Open system degassing determines emission; because magma convection allows continuous gas release rather than pressure buildup. Therefore, continuous background flux dominates, rather than volatile accumulation causing fluctuations from fractional crystallization inside vesicles or local impermeable blockage.
