Which volcanic outcome on island arcs happens from decompression?

💡 Explanation

Increased magma production occurs because mantle material rises, causing a decrease in pressure, leading to decompression melting; therefore, greater volcanic output occurs, rather than changes in subsidence, tsunami frequency, or decreased geothermal vents.
