Is redoubt volcano an island arc?
Redeoubt volcano is part of a volcanic arc that is partially an island arc and partially a continental arc.
Is Mount rainier an Island Arc?
No. Mount Rainier is on the mainland, so it is part of a continental arc.
Which feature can be produced at an ocean continental convergence?
continental volcanic arc. :)
What is the difference between an oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary and a oceanic-continental convergent boundary?
Oceanice oceanic has a trench, which is usually the deepest part of the ocean. It also has a volcanic island. That is how Islands are found in the center of oceans. oceanic convergent has similar features but do not have islands but instead volcanic arc on the continents.
What are the tectonic conditions that lead to the formation of a chain of volcanoes on a continent and island arc volcanoes?
Continental and island arc volcanic chains are due to the collision of tectonic plates and the subduction of the more dense plate under the lighter, less dense plate. The resultant melting of the subducted crust as it reaches the mantle results in volcanism as the lighter, melted rock attempts to rise to the surface.

No. Mount Rainier is on the mainland, so it is part of a continental arc.
Newly formed land consisting of an arc-shaped island chain is called?
Continental volcanic arcs
What is a continental arc?
Is a tectonic process where two plates ( an Oceanic plate and a Continental plate) collide. In Continental Arc environments the weaker oceanic plate always sub ducts under the stronger Continental plate. Most Continental arc environments lead to Volcano formation.
What is the continental volcanic arc?
Volcanic arc along continental boundaries. Example would be the "ring of fire" which surrounds the pacific ocean along continental plates.
Which feature can be produced at an ocean-continental convergence?
Parallel belts of folded mountains and volcanic mountains
Which can be produced at an ocean-continental convergent boundary?
continental volcanic arc
Where would you find arc island?
you can find an island arc in the Philippines islands
Is Mount Fuji an island arc?
Mount Fuji is a stratovolcano. However, its located at an island arc, Japan. Mount Fujis platonic environment is there for an island arc.
Which feature can be produced at an ocean continental convergence?
continental volcanic arc. :)
What happens when oceanic plate and continental plate converge?
As oceanic crust is thinner, it sinks under the continental crust and forms a subduction zone. This can also form a line of volcanoes.a deep sea trench and an island arc form.
What is newly formed land consisting of an arc-shaped island chain called?
Volcanic island arc
