Which outcome on coastal land results from prolonged oceanic plate subduction?

A)Formation of a volcanic mountain chain
B)Development of an extensive atoll system
C)Increased frequency of glacial calving
D)Creation of a large rift valley

💡 Explanation

A volcanic mountain chain forms because subduction causes mantle melting from increased pressure/temperature, resulting in magma plumes rising to form volcanoes via volcanism, therefore mountains are formed rather than atolls that require coral growth.
