If it is a single island, it is simply known as a volcanic island! If however it is a chain or string of separate islands then it may be a volcanic island arc (these form parallel to trenches at subduction zones) or a volcanic island chain (these form where a mantle plume creates a hotspot and may be in the centre of a tectonic plate. A good example would be the Hawaiian island chain). They can also form a cluster of islands (an archipelago) such as the Canary Islands (again formed by hotspot volcanism) in the Atlantic of the coast of Morocco.
