Which risk increases when degassing pathways become blocked within a volcanic dome?

A)Increased viscosity of erupted lava
B)Over-pressurization and explosive eruptions
C)Decreased rates of lava flow
D)Enhanced fumarolic activity on flanks

💡 Explanation

Over-pressurization increases because blocked degassing forces gas accumulation within the dome, thereby raising internal pressure until it surpasses the dome's structural strength, which causes explosive eruptions, rather than merely altering viscosity.
