Which outcome is associated with hydration melting during subduction?

💡 Explanation

Island arc volcanism will increase because subducting oceanic crust releases water into the mantle wedge, resulting in flux melting; therefore, magma generation increases, rather than other tectonic processes responding.

• Which weathering consequence results when unconsolidated pyroclastic rock persists?
• Which consequence results when deep stratification limits gyre mixing?
• Which outcome is accelerated when longshore drift slows near groynes?
• Which outcome occurs when rapid crustal uplift obstructs rivers entering endorheic basins?
• Which outcome contributes to sandbar formation when increased wave energy approaches a coastline?
• Which risk increases when a rapidly growing barrier island impedes normal longshore drift against a recessed bay?
