← GeographyWhich outcome consistently results from effusive lava eruptions?
A)Shield volcano formation process✓
B)Crater lake rapid evaporation
C)Caldera collapse intensification rate
D)Pyroclastic flow increased momentum
💡 Explanation
Effusive eruptions create broad, gently sloping shield volcanoes because low-viscosity lava spreads over large areas via magma convection; therefore, shield volcanoes form, rather than violent pyroclastic surges typical of explosive eruptions.
