The image below is of a subduction zone within earths mantle the plate that is pushing underneath, heats up and become magma. What is the result of this action
The result of the plate pushing underneath and heating up within a subduction zone is the formation of magma. Magma is a molten mixture of rock, minerals, and gases that is created through the melting of the subducting plate as it descends into the mantle. This magma then rises towards the surface due to its lower density compared to the surrounding rocks, forming volcanic activity such as volcanic eruptions, volcanic arcs, and the creation of new crust through volcanic activity.
