Which outcome amplifies effusive volcanism around shield volcanoes?

A)Mantle plume decompression melting
B)Hydration-induced mantle partial melting
C)Flux melting at subduction zones
D)Crustal assimilation lowers magma density

💡 Explanation

Increased magma supply amplifies volcanism because mantle plume decompression melting creates higher melt volumes; therefore effusive eruptions intensify,rather than sporadic or explosive eruptions which instead relate to higher magma viscosity or volatile content.
