Which outcome commonly results where oceanic transform faults terminate near subduction zones?

💡 Explanation

Volcanic island arcs form when the change from transform to subduction motion causes regional extension, inducing decompression melting; therefore, arc volcanism occurs, rather than increased plume activity that is randomly located or tectonic uplift tied to thrust faulting.
