Which outcome regarding geological activity is intensified specifically near a subduction zone exhibiting a high convergence rate?

A)Increased frequency of megathrust earthquakes
B)Decreased volcanic eruption intensity
C)Reduced formation of accretionary wedges
D)Minimal deformation of overriding plate

💡 Explanation

A high convergence rate in a subduction zone intensifies stress build-up; therefore, the increased stress leads to more frequent megathrust earthquakes, because the rate overwhelm's plate's capacity for ductile deformation, rather than other seismic effects.
