Which outcome follows persistent subduction at oceanic trenches?

💡 Explanation

An accretionary wedge forms because material scraped off the subducting plate accumulates, driven by the subduction process itself; therefore, an accretionary wedge forms, rather than sea level changes which occur due to different global processes.
