Melting happens in association with a subduction zone. what is going on to cause this? group of answer choices
a. the bending and friction associated with scraping off a pile of sediment, such as the olympic peninsula, makes the pile very hot, and the downgoing slab passes through the hot zone and melts in response.
b. the scraped-off pile from the subduction zone traps the earth’s heat beneath, and the downgoing slab passes through this hot zone and melts in response.
c. the downgoing slab takes along water, and that water lowers the temperature at which rock melts to allow melting in and near the slab.
d. the immense friction between the downgoing slab and the overlying rocks makes the slab the hottest things in the mantle, causing much melting nearby.
e. the motion of the downgoing slab weakens the mantle so that a hot spot from deep below can rise along the downgoing slab and cause melting.
