Which of the following can occur around a subduction zone?

1 Answer

2 votes

Two parallel mountain ranges commonly develop above such a subduction zone – a coastal range consisting of sedimentary strata and hard rock lifted out of the sea (accretionary wedge), and a volcanic range farther inland (volcanic arc). Ancient magma chamber rocks can be exposed if subduction stops and the volcanoes erode away.
