What is the difference between volcanic island and volcanic arc?

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.
