MULTIPLE CHOICE Which kind of volcanism is most likely to occur at location A in the following map? PACIFIC PLATE A B с AUCHICAN PLATE MID NSZ PRA EURASIAN PLATE AURICAN MATE INDO AUSTRALIAG ANTARCTOPLATE Location A is a hot spot in oceanic crust, so it is likely to erupt lava with a low silica con- tent, resulting in relatively quiet volcanism. Location A is a mid-ocean ridge at a divergent boundary, so it is likely to erupt lava with a low silica content, resulting in relatively quiet volcanism. Location A is a mid-ocean ridge at a divergent boundary, so it is likely to erupt lava with a high silica content, resulting in explosive volcanism.
