Which risk increases around volcanic lava domes during effusive eruptions?

A)Pyroclastic flow generation likelihood
B)Basaltic lava fountain height
C)Shield volcano flank collapse potential
D)Subglacial meltwater outburst floods

💡 Explanation

Pyroclastic flows are more likely when unstable lava domes collapse because gravitational instability causes dome material fragmentation, propagating outward as high-speed flows; therefore the risk increases through gravitational potential rather than meltwater dynamics.
