Question
Hi,
I need help answering these 2 Geology questions.
1. Identify the false statement: Volcanic arcs
A. Form where subduction takes place
B. Are long, curving mountain chains adjacent to deep ocean trenches
C. Can be continental or island
D. Make up the ring of fire circulating the atlantic ocean
E. Occur at convergent- plate boundaries
2. How is magma created in a subduction zone
A. Friction between the two plates cause the lithosphere to melt
B. Subduction brings one plate to a depth hot enough for minerals in the plate to melt
C. Subduction brings one plate to a depth hot enough for minerals to release water; this water causes melting in the overlying asthenosphere
