rapid cooling, so that crystals do not form.
What is the name of the group of islands in the eastern most part of the Caribbean Sea?
The name given to the group of islands that enclose the Caribbean Sea is the Lesser Antilles. The Lesser Antilles form an arc shape and consist of over 60 islands.

What plate boundary are volcanic islands?
Volcanic islands typically form near subduction zone, but they can also form at hot spots, which are not associated with plate boundaries.
Is a volcanic island transform?
No. Volcanoes do not form at transform boundaries. Volcanic islands can form at convergent boundaries and at hot spots.
What do convergent boundarys form?
They form landforms such as trenches, islands and volcanic mountains.
What features form at a hot spot.?
They form volcanic mountains by heating magma that breaks through the crust. On the oceanic plates, these crustal hot spots can form chains of volcanic islands such as the Hawaiian Islands.
What islands are in the Aleutian islands?
A chain of 14 large volcanic islands and 55 smaller ones form the Aleutian Islands.
A series of volcanic islands that form along a plate boundary is called a what?
This is called a volcanic island arc.
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.
Why did the Volcanic Marianas Islands form west of the Marianas Trench?
The Volcanic Marianas Islands form west of the Marianas trench because plates are formed by underwater volcanoes which will move gently to the west.
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.
