← GeographyWhich volcanic outcome on island arcs happens from decompression?
A)Magma production increase explosively✓
B)Land subsidence becomes regionally significant
C)Tsunami frequency shifts to decline
D)Geothermal activity diminishes noticeably
💡 Explanation
Increased magma production occurs because mantle material rises, causing a decrease in pressure, leading to decompression melting; therefore, greater volcanic output occurs, rather than changes in subsidence, tsunami frequency, or decreased geothermal vents.
