← GeographyWhich risk increases in a caldera following resurgent dome formation?
A)Sudden phreatic eruption occurrence✓
B)Decrease in regional tectonic seismicity
C)Rapid dissolution of crater lake acids
D)Significant reduction of hydrothermal venting

The risk of phreatic eruptions increases because magma intrusion elevates groundwater temperatures causing increased steam pressure; therefore shallow steam explosions are more frequent rather than deeper magmatic ones.
