What is newly formed land consisting of an arc-shaped island chain called?

A newly formed land consisting of an arc-shaped island chain is called a volcanic island arc. These volcanic islands are typically formed due to the convergence of tectonic plates where one plate subducts beneath another, leading to magma rising to the surface and creating a chain of volcanic islands.

Is a volcanic arc the same thing as a volcanic mountain range?

What is magmatic underplanting?

Magmatic underplating is a geological process where magma is injected into the lower crust beneath a volcanic arc. The magma then solidifies to form a layer of igneous rock that underlies the volcanic arc. This process can provide a heat source for volcanic activity and affect the composition of the volcanic rocks erupted at the surface.
