← GeographyWhich outcome occurs because of cyclical magma buoyancy increase near a subduction zone?
A)Episodic volcanic eruption intensity shifts✓
B)Sudden plate dehydration stops subduction
C)Increased transform fault line stability
D)Accelerated formation of a volcanic crater
💡 Explanation
Episodic volcanism arises from magma buoyancy modulation. Increases drive magma pulses leading to variations in eruption intensity, because magma episodically ascends via buoyancy. Thus, shifts occur rather than steady eruptions or immediate crater formation.
