← GeographyWhich process explains magma composition variation causing island arcs?
A)mantle convection differentiation process✓
B)crustal rebound isostatic adjustment
C)magnetic striping paleomagnetism evidence
D)sediment loading basin formation rates
💡 Explanation
Mantle convection influences magma differentiation; partial melting alters magma composition therefore arc lavas vary chemically because lighter elements concentrate during upwards convection, rather than homogenous mixing or tectonic fracturing.
