Answer:

A. volcanic activity

Explanation:

In a subduction zone, a noticeable increase in volcanic activity can be observed.

A subduction  zone is a plate margin in which a denser lithospheric plate goes beneath a lighter one. One such example is illustrated between an oceanic plate which subducts beneath a continetal plate.

When a plate subducts, it goes deeper into the earth and reflux melting of the plate occurs. The melting point of nearby rocks is considerably lowered by dewatering of the subducting plate. The water causes reflux melting and magma forms. Appropriate conduits like fractures can carry the magma to the surface to initiate volcanic activities. This is the origin of volcanic activities within the continent or continental volcanism.

Question: Explain the phenomena of rising of sea levels and how is this going to affect us in the future? ​​
lesya692 [45]

I think it is Consequences. When sea levels rise as rapidly as they have been, even a small increase can have devastating effects on coastal habitats farther inland, it can cause destructive erosion, wetland flooding, aquifer and agricultural soil contamination with salt, and lost habitat for fish, birds, and plants.
