← GeographyWhich outcome necessarily accompanies increased effusive volcanic flow?
A)Shield volcano lateral area increasing✓
B)Stratovolcano peak collapsing inward
C)Caldera formation via violent explosion
D)Pyroclastic flow event likelihood upsurge
💡 Explanation
Shield volcanoes widen because effusive flow adds material that spreads thinly and widely outward via lava flows; therefore area grows, rather than becoming more prone to collapse, because a pressure buildup is not necessarily occurring.
