Which outcome occurs at a subduction zone with shallow slab angle?

💡 Explanation

Shallow slab angles cause broad compressional forces, which, through isostatic compensation, create back-arc basins rather than focused volcanism because the subducting slab interacts over longer horizontal distances. Therefore back-arc basins form; rather than localized faulting or volcanism dominating.
