Are backarc regions are characterized by compression?

No, backarc regions are typically characterized by extensional tectonics, rather than compression. Backarc regions are located behind volcanic arcs and are associated with the subduction of oceanic plates beneath continental plates, leading to extension and the formation of basins and volcanic activity.
