Which outcome occurs when decompression melting decreases beneath Iceland?

A)Shift in tectonic stress regime
B)Increased subglacial flood frequency
C)Magma plume migration northwards
D)Reduced silica content in magma

💡 Explanation

Increased subglacial flooding occurs because less heat from volcanism weakens the ice from below, allowing surface meltwaters erode larger cavities; therefore enhanced melting rates dominate rather than meltwater being restricted by ongoing conductive heating.
