← GeographyWhich hazard increases due to gas pressure under solidified lava?
A)Explosive eruption initiation✓
B)Slower magma convection
C)Reduced dome instability
D)Decreased seismic activity
💡 Explanation
Explosive eruption initiation increases, because gas trapped beneath a solidified lava dome experiences **pressure accumulation**, stressing the overlying solidified crust, therefore triggering sudden eruptions, rather than magma convection changes dependent on buoyancy.
