Which outcome occurs when a lava effusion rate decreases significantly?

A)A steep-sided lava dome solidifies
B)Pahoehoe flows transition to Aa flows
C)Pyroclastic flows increase dramatically
D)Shield volcano lateral collapse occurs

💡 Explanation

A lava dome forms due to reduced lava flow. The viscosity rises, preventing distant flows because the lava cools rapidly; therefore, a concentrated mass accumulates. A dome rather than a flow results from this process.
