Which outcome occurs when highly viscous magma obstructs volcanic pipe ascent?

💡 Explanation

Increased explosive eruption intensity happens because volatile buildup increases due to blockage initiating violent degassing, embodying positive feedback in explosive volcanism; therefore, it exacerbates eruptions rather than other responses and behaviors as lower-pressure situations.
