Which outcome is accelerated during subduction with serpentinization?

💡 Explanation

Increased water weakens mantle rock; flux melting increases because serpentinization introduces water, therefore mantle wedge melting increases drastically, rather than rollback slowing or the overring plate staibliizing since this relates more to the pressure dynamics itself.
