The island-arc volcanoes are formed from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench.
What are the names of the tectonic plates involved in Japan's 2011 earthquake?
The tectonic plates involved in Japan's 2011 earthquake were the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. The earthquake resulted from the Pacific Plate subducting beneath the North American Plate along the Japan Trench.

Does subduction happen at a plate boundary?
Subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate.
Do seafloor plates collide?
Technically, yes. At convergent boundaries, an oceanic plate will subduct, or sink, under a continental plate and melt back into the mantle. An example of this is the Juan De Fuca plate, which has almost been entirely subducted under the North American Plate.

this is called tectonic plates moving, this causes earthquakes and if under water it's called a psunami
