Examples of island arcs include the Japanese archipelago and the Aleutian Islands.
What is newly formed land consisting of an arc-shaped island chain called?
A newly formed land consisting of an arc-shaped island chain is called a volcanic island arc. These volcanic islands are typically formed due to the convergence of tectonic plates where one plate subducts beneath another, leading to magma rising to the surface and creating a chain of volcanic islands.
What is it called when organisms begin to colonize a newly formed volcanic island?
Primary succession
What are groups of volcanoes called?
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.
