Which volcanic outcome occurs when excessive magma degassing?

A)Violent Strombolian eruption onset
B)Increased effusive lava flow extent
C)Higher andesitic mineral formation rates
D)Enhanced hydrothermal vent formation

💡 Explanation

A Strombolian eruption happens because increased pore pressure from gas buildup causes accelerated magma fracturing via volatile supersaturation; therefore explosive eruptions, rather than effusive flows, result from gas-rich magma, increasing eruption violence rather than vent formation.
