volcanic island arcs
An oceanic-oceanic convergence occurs when two plates made of oceanic crust collide. This collision can lead to the formation of deep oceanic trenches, volcanic island arcs, and earthquakes. Over time, the denser plate may subduct beneath the other, leading to the recycling of oceanic crust back into the mantle.
The UK is a continental island.

The largest island of the more densely populated south western oceanic island group is Papua New Guinea
Island arc mountains are formed when one oceanic plate is subducted beneath another oceanic plate, creating a volcanic island arc.
At a volcanic island arc, an oceanic plate slides into the mantle and thus oceanic crust is destroyed. The volcanoes add material on to of the crust, but to not cause the crust to expand outward.
The island-arc volcanoes are formed from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench.
