This is called a volcanic island arc.
Is a volcanic arc the same thing as a volcanic mountain range?
Volcanic arcs are usually island arcs off the coast of a continent, while volcanic mountain ranges are usually inland inside a continent. But the volcanoes of a volcanic island arc do form an undersea volcanic mountain range. So to some extent the difference is mostly a matter of terminology.
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.
What state is the US is a volcanic arc?

What does volcanic island arc mean?
Volcanic arcs form at plate subduction zones. Island arcs are volcanic islands that form over "hot spots" in the Earth's mantle. Because the islands are moving with the oceanic plate, they eventually are removed from the hot spot, forming a chain of islands in the direction of the plate movement.

What is continental volcanic arc?
I think its a chain of volcanoes form when oceanic crustsubducts beneath other oceanic crust on an adjacent plate. . (:
What is the difference between volcanic island and volcanic arc?
