← GeographyWhich outcome is triggered when viscous magma emplacement causes a cryptodome?
A)Localized uplift and surface deformation✓
B)Effusive lava flows over a wide area
C)Formation of a deep oceanic trench
D)Increase in atmospheric carbon sequestration
💡 Explanation
Localized surface deformation results when viscous magma drives cryptodome formation because increased pressure beneath the surface causes uplift rather than surface lava flows; therefore, option A is correct, due increased subterranean pressure.
