Volcanoes form most commonly in regions where one tectonic plate plunges beneath another tectonic plate. How does this process

lead to volcano formation?

OA. The plate plunging downward suddenly turns upward, breaking through the surface to form volcanoes.

OB. The plate plunging downward knocks loose part of the Earth's core, which rises up to form volcanoes at the surface.

OC. It causes strong earthquakes, which shake the ground upward into the shapes of volcanoes.

OD. It causes part of the overriding plate to melt into magma, which rises up to form volcanoes at the surface.
