on the overriding plate near a subduction zone
mainly continental volcanic arcs
volcanic island arcs
Ocean Trenches, Island Arcs, Volcanic Mountain Chains, Magmatic Arcs.
Subduction zones, trenches and volcanic islands: the boundary that is oceanic. Trenches and volcanic islands: an oceanic-continental boundary. Folded mountain ranges: a continental and continental collision.
Non-volcanic mountains are caused when continental plates converge.
mainly continental volcanic arcs
Continental mountains, ocean trenches, volcanic mountains, volcanic islands and arcs.
Continental volcanic arcs
It can be found along subduction-related volcanic arcs or all by themselves
Ocean trenches and Island arcs.
volcanic island arcs
Volcanic arcs form at plate subduction zones. Island arcs are volcanic islands that form over "hot spots" in the Earth's mantle. Because the islands are moving with the oceanic plate, they eventually are removed from the hot spot, forming a chain of islands in the direction of the plate movement.
About 150km from a subduction zone.
volcanic island arcs
1. Oceanic trenches. 2. Volcanic islands. 3. Volcanic mountains. and 4. Volcanic arcs.
Volcanic arcs are usually island arcs off the coast of a continent, while volcanic mountain ranges are usually inland inside a continent. But the volcanoes of a volcanic island arc do form an undersea volcanic mountain range. So to some extent the difference is mostly a matter of terminology.
