Examples of three major island arcs are the Aleutians, the Kuriles, Japan, and the Philippines. They clustered around the northern and western borders of the Pacific Plate like a necklace.

Island arcs are also called oceanic arcs. Many volcanoes form near converging plate boundaries where subduction occurs. Subduction causes slabs of oceanic crust to sink beneath a deep-ocean trench into the mantle. The crust melts and forms magma, which then rises back toward the surface. Volcanoes form when the magma erupts as lava. At the boundary where two oceanic plates collide, volcanoes can create a string of islands called an island arc. There are many island arcs. The main ones that we read of most often include Japan, New Zealand, Indonesia, Caribbean Islands, Philippines, and the Aleutians.

Circles have infinitely many arcs, not just 3.
