Which consequence results when crustal divergence is restricted?

💡 Explanation

A limited crustal divergence increases pressure from magma upwelling because magma cannot dissipate efficiently via volcanism; therefore magma chamber pressure rises rather than seafloor spreading slowing without divergence or mantle convection enhancement alone.
