The answer is B. In a destructive plate boundary, the descending plate, usually the oceanic plate begins to melt as it descends below into the mantle. This forms magma that rises and erupts onto the overlying continental plate through fissures. This volcanic activity is responsible for geographical features such as the volcanic island arc, which lies parallel to the subduction zone.

Answer:
1- Option (C)
2- Option (A)
3- Option (B)
Explanation:
The warm ocean currents are responsible for the transportation of warm and moist air to the coastal region, whereas the cold ocean currents are responsible for carrying the cold and dry air to the nearby coastal areas.
Therefore, the region (1) will experience a cold and dry type of weather.
The stratosphere is the layer that is just above the troposphere and extends from a height of about 10 to 50 km above the ground surface. Here the temperature increases with the increasing height due to the presence of Ozone layer (O₃) that absorbs the incoming solar radiations.
Troposphere is the interior layer of the atmosphere that extends from the ground surface up to a height of about 10 km. Here, the temperature decreases with the increasing altitude. The air near the ground surface is compact and dense, due to which the temperature remains high. As the warm air rises up it interacts with the cold air that is situated over the warm air. Due to this, the air cools down and sinks to the bottom.
Hence, the correct answers are mentioned above.
