Which outcome occurs when prolonged eruption generates heavy buoyant pyroclastic material?

A)Subsidence creates a volcanic caldera
B)Formation of layered sedimentary rock
C)Development of shield volcano flanks
D)Enhanced mineral stratification within magma

💡 Explanation

A caldera typically forms from buoyant pyroclastic materials causing magma chamber evacuation; therefore, the overlying volcanic structure collapses due to lack of support because magma withdrawal exceeds supply, rather than forming sedimentary or shield volcano structures.
