← GeographyWhich process causes increased geyser activity near stratovolcanoes?
A)Magmatic heat transfer increases steam✓
B)Confined aquifer pressure declines rapidly
C)Snowmelt infiltration decreases permeability
D)Atmospheric pressure suppresses boiling points
💡 Explanation
Magmatic heat transfer increases geyser activity because volcanic upwelling increases the geothermal gradient, leading to intense local heating and steam generation; therefore, more geysers bubble, rather than from snowmelt or aquifer pressure changes.
