Which outcome occurs when viscous magma is extruded?

💡 Explanation

A lava flows viscosity drives dome formation; high viscosity prevents spreading, leading to an accumulation around the vent forming a dome. Therefore, a dome forms; rather than shield volcanoes or flood basalts which require lower viscosity lavas.
