Which outcome results when increased water saturation occurs within subducting oceanic crust?

💡 Explanation

Arc volcanism occurs because `flux melting` lowers the mantle's melting point above the subducting slab; therefore, magma rises and generates volcanoes rather than other processes driven by mantle dynamics or ridge activity.
