Which vent-related outcome increases greatly because expanding lava pressure exceeds rock strength?

💡 Explanation

A lava dome forms because magma's vesicularity (bubbles) increases the internal pressure, exceeding the vent's rock strength resulting in extrusive Vulcanian eruptions building the dome, rather than effusive flow or magma processes.
