Which outcome occurs when prolonged volcanic fissure eruptions saturate sloping terrain?

💡 Explanation

The saturation reduces the shear strength of the slope, leading to a debris avalanche because the mechanism is pore pressure increase by increased saturation on slopes causing instability. Therefore, avalanches result, rather than slow soil formation or lava solidification.
