← GeographyWhich risk increases when basaltic lava flows rapidly onto glacial ice?
A)Atmospheric aerosol concentration increases✓
B)Magma chamber pressure decreases rapidly
C)Tectonic plate subduction accelerates locally
D)Mantle convection currents destabilize quickly
💡 Explanation
Increased risk results from phreatomagmatic eruptions because these occur from thermal energy transfer causing explosive steam generation therefore increasing atmospheric aerosols, rather than pressure changes in connected magma chambers. Tectonic and mantle processes happen slower.
