Which outcome usually limits volcano height at subduction zones?

💡 Explanation

Volcano heights are limited by isostatic depression because the growing mass of the volcano causes the lithosphere to sink under its weight, therefore inhibiting further vertical growth rather than direct erosion that is typically seen in older volcanos.

• Which mechanism causes strong regional uplift during flat-slab subduction?
• Which outcome occurs when a subducting slab dehydrates at intermediate depths (~100 km)?
• Which outcome results when a lava dome's flank destabilizes?
• Which mechanism increases flood risk downstream of a newly formed oxbow lake?
• Which mechanism generates stable, slow-moving 'laminar' flow in a meandering stream channel?
• Which process accelerates terrain deformation downstream during solifluction on a moderate slope?
