← GeographyWhich hazard increases as magma cools inside volcanic domes?
A)Increased risk of explosive eruption✓
B)Decrease in overall vent viscosity
C)Reduction in thermal expansion stress
D)Accelerated rate of surface weathering
💡 Explanation
Explosive eruption risk increases due to increased volatile concentration as magma cools driving crystallization affecting volatile solubility; driving pressure, because cooling enriches the remaining liquid in volatiles, therefore leading to higher overpressure and explosive potential, rather than a decrease in viscosity.
