What does ocean ocean convergence produce?
mainly continental volcanic arcs
What does an oceanic-oceanic convergence give rise to?
volcanic island arcs
Which type of landforms develops plate boundaries where one oceanic plate descends beneath one another?
Ocean Trenches, Island Arcs, Volcanic Mountain Chains, Magmatic Arcs.
What geologic features are associated with each type of convergent boundary?
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.
How are non-volcanic mountains created by plate tectonics?
Non-volcanic mountains are caused when continental plates converge.
What does ocean ocean convergence produce?
mainly continental volcanic arcs
What results from a convergent boundary?
Continental mountains, ocean trenches, volcanic mountains, volcanic islands and arcs.
Newly formed land consisting of an arc-shaped island chain is called?
Continental volcanic arcs
Where can a shield volcano be found?
It can be found along subduction-related volcanic arcs or all by themselves
Subduction of oceanic crust at a continental margin creates .?
Ocean trenches and Island arcs.
What does an oceanic-oceanic convergence give rise to?
volcanic island arcs
What is the differences between volcanic island arcs and volcanic 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.
Where do volcanic arcs form?
About 150km from a subduction zone.
What does an oceanic-oceanic convergence rise to?
volcanic island arcs
What forms when oceanic plates collide?
1. Oceanic trenches. 2. Volcanic islands. 3. Volcanic mountains. and 4. Volcanic arcs.
Is a volcanic arc the same thing as a volcanic mountain range?
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.
Which geologic regions creates volcanic arcs?
convergent plate boundaries
