← GeographyWhich outcome occurs after magma reaches strength threshold?
A)Lava dome extrusion acceleration✓
B)Sudden caldera collapse subsides
C)Pyroclastic flow sediment increase
D)Tephra accumulation rate slows
💡 Explanation
Higher magma viscosity enables plugging, therefore a lava dome is formed during viscous magma extrusion because it can withstand the pressure, increasing speed, rather than causing caldera collapse or altering tephra fallout.
