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.

Match the mountains with the type of collision that formed them?
Andes - continental oceanic aleutians - oceanic oceanic North American cordillera - arc continent Appalachians - continental continental
Subduction of oceanic lithosphere under a continental block gives rise to what type of geologic structure that is characterized by a continental volcanic arc and associated igneous plutons?
andean-type plate margin
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 a modern day example of an active continental rift?
Himalayan Mountain range Aleutian Island arc west coast of South America Alpine Fault in New Zealand East Africa and the Red Sea
What locations is a modern-day example of an active continental rift?
Himalayan Mountain range Aleutian Island arc west coast of South America Alpine Fault in New Zealand East Africa and the Red Sea
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
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.
Which feature can be produced at an ocean continental convergence?
continental volcanic arc. :)
Is Mount rainier an Island Arc?
No. Mount Rainier is on the mainland, so it is part of a continental arc.
Match the mountains with the type of collision that formed them?
Andes - continental oceanic aleutians - oceanic oceanic North American cordillera - arc continent Appalachians - continental continental
What is a continental arc system?
These arc systems form at collision plate margins where an oceanic plate is being subducted under a continental plate. As the oceanic plate melts, the magma rises and finds cracks in the continental plate above and creates volcanoes. These volcanoes occur all the way along this plate margin. For example the cascade volcanic arc on the north west coast of USA.
What plates create a volcanic arc?
An oceanic plate being subducted under a continental plate.
What plates can create a volcanic arc?
An oceanic plate being subducted under a continental plate.
Newly formed land consisting of an arc-shaped island chain is called?
Continental volcanic arcs
What type os mountains form at convergent boundaries where two oceanic plates meet?
continental arc
