← GeographyWhich outcome is amplified where the descending plate dehydrates?
A)Flux melting increasing magma generation✓
B)Subduction erosion weakens overriding plate
C)Increased sediment accretion rates prisms
D)Slower, more ductile interface deformation
💡 Explanation
Flux melting occurs because the water released from the subducting plate lowers the mantle's melting point; therefore magma will be generated to make volcanoes. Sediment accretion will be suppressed at high melt, rather than accelerated, because material is consumed.
