Which surface outcome results from felsic lava's high viscosity?

💡 Explanation

Steep stratovolcanoes form due to high silica content triggering increased viscosity; therefore, felsic lava piles up near vents building tall, conical structures, rather than spreading to form shield volcanoes because basaltic lava has lower viscosity.
