When an overriding plate is continental, a marginal trench forms where the topographic depression seems to follow the outline of the continental margin. It is here where explosive volcanoes can be found.
A volcanic arc will form on the continent due to subduction of oceanic lithosphere descending into the asthenosphere. Partial melting of mantle rock generates magma which then rises to the surface to form a volcanic mountain chain.
