Volcanic arc along continental boundaries. Example would be the "ring of fire" which surrounds the Pacific Ocean along continental plates.

Subduction of oceanic lithosphere under a continental block gives rise to what type of geologic structure that is characterized by a continental volcanic arc and associated igneous plutons?
The subduction of oceanic lithosphere under a continent forms a volcanic arc on the continental margin. This arc is characterized by intense volcanic activity producing a chain of stratovolcanoes and igneous plutons intruding into the continental crust.
What is continental volcanic arc?
A continental volcanic arc is a chain of volcanoes that forms on a continental plate where two tectonic plates converge. The subduction of an oceanic plate beneath a continental plate results in magma generation and volcanic activity along the continental margin. These volcanic arcs are associated with earthquakes, volcanism, and mountain building.
What plates create a volcanic arc?
An oceanic plate being subducted under a continental plate.
What plates can create a volcanic arc?
An oceanic plate being subducted under a continental plate.
Newly formed land consisting of an arc-shaped island chain is called?

Is redoubt volcano an island arc?
No, Redoubt Volcano is not part of an island arc. It is located in the Aleutian Range in Alaska and is associated with the Aleutian volcanic arc, which is a chain of volcanoes formed by the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate.
What is a continental arc system?
These arc systems form at collision plate margins where an oceanic plate is being subducted under a continental plate. As the oceanic plate melts, the magma rises and finds cracks in the continental plate above and creates volcanoes. These volcanoes occur all the way along this plate margin. For example the cascade volcanic arc on the north west coast of USA.
Who made a volcanuc arc?

What is a continental arc?
Is a tectonic process where two plates ( an Oceanic plate and a Continental plate) collide. In Continental Arc environments the weaker oceanic plate always sub ducts under the stronger Continental plate. Most Continental arc environments lead to Volcano formation.
