← GeographyWhich landform modification develops, subsequent to lava emplacement, caused by differential weathering?
A)Inversion of relief✓
B)Formation of a caldera
C)Generation of lahars
D)Volcanic ash accumulation
💡 Explanation
Differential weathering erodes less resistant surrounding material, lowering elevation; the more resistant, lava-filled feature stands out, therefore causing an inversion of relief, rather than creating a collapse caldera or mudflows because those are triggered by separate volcanological mechanisms.
