A. Location A creates a volcano; Location B uplifts and forms a mountain

B. Location A uplifts and forms a mountain; Location B creates a volcano

C. Location A creates a gap allowing molten material to seep through; Location B melts and recycles the crust

D. Location A melts and recycles the crust; Location B creates new ocean crust
