Which risk increases for nearby communities when a rhyolitic lava dome's growth stalls?

A)Accelerated rates of caldera collapse
B)Increased probability of pyroclastic flows
C)Higher frequency of harmonic tremors
D)Greater emission of sulfurous fumes

💡 Explanation

Pyroclastic flow risk elevates because pressure builds within the solidified dome until it explosively breaches; therefore, a stalled dome is more dangerous than a constantly flowing one, rather than leading to caldera collapse which typically proceeds slowly.
