← GeographyWhich outcome results when rapid lava extrusion creates a dome?
A)Increased risk of flank collapse✓
B)Decreased rate of crustal uplift
C)Reduced frequency of ashfall events
D)Enhanced hydrothermal vent formation
💡 Explanation
Flank collapse risk increases because rapid dome growth creates an unstable mass prone to gravitational failure, triggering landslides. Therefore, option A is correct ; rather than decreasing uplift, or ashfall, all which depend on eruptions.
