Which volcanic outcome develops during oceanic slab subduction?

💡 Explanation

An island arc arises due to flux melting; subducting oceanic slabs release fluids, lowering the mantle's melting point. This generates magma that rises and forms volcanoes, therefore creating island arcs rather than rifts or plains because of subduction induced volcanic activity.
