A simplified map shows a line of volcanoes and young mountains (brown triangles). The map also shows clusters of metal ore deposits (purple squares) near that line, and major freshwater in large rivers (blue lines) mostly far away in a wetter lowland area. Based on the pattern, where is a NEW metal ore deposit most likely to be found? (The distribution reflects natural geologic processes such as plate movement and magma-related mineral formation.)
