← GeographyWhich outcome results due to laminar viscous flow?
A)Formation of a leveed lava channel✓
B)Development explosion breccia pipes
C)Creation of shield volcano summits
D)Deposition of blocky ash beds
💡 Explanation
Lava channels form because laminar viscous flow allows concentrated flow and cooling along margins; this builds up and levees the over the path, therefore leading to a leveed lava channel, rather than eruption or fragmentation.
