Which outcome occurs when volatiles rapidly exsolve during magma ascent?

💡 Explanation

Pyroclastic flows occur because rapid volatile exsolution increases gas pressure exceeding magma strength; therefore a sustained eruption generating heated ash flows develops, rather than lava domes or structures. Pillow basalt forms through cooling, not exsolution.
