Which outcome is driven by flux melting at subduction zones?

💡 Explanation

Volcanic island arcs form due to flux melting, lowering the mantle's melting point with water, because volatiles are introduced from a subducting plate. Therefore, magma is generated, which erupts at the surface as volcanoes rather than causing oceanic trenches.
