Which mechanism increases dissolved gas concentrations in magma approaching Earth's surface?

💡 Explanation

When magma ascends, pressure decreases causing gas exsolution because the solubility of gases in the silicate melt reduces, concentrating dissolved gases. Therefore, decompression allows gas exsolution, rather than other factors which alter melt properties in other ways.
