Which outcome primarily follows rising magma’s volatile exsolution?

A)Explosive volcanic eruption
B)Formation of strike-slip faults
C)Increased subduction zone temperature
D)Reduced mantle convection rate

💡 Explanation

An explosive eruption results because volatile exsolution rapidly expands dissolved gasses, creating extreme pressure. Therefore, explosive eruptions occur, rather than effusive flows, because bubble nucleation facilitates rapid magma degassing.
