What are intersecting arcs called?
They are simply called intersecting arcs.
Arcs of a circle that have exactly one point in common are called what?
Adjacent Arcs
What are the three arcs of the circle?
Circles have infinitely many arcs, not just 3.
What are two minor arcs that are congruent with corresponding chords?
They are arcs of congruent circles.
Are some arcs in a circle line segments?
No
What does an oceanic-oceanic convergence give rise to?
volcanic island arcs
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.
What does an oceanic-oceanic convergence rise to?
volcanic island arcs
What do oceanic vs oceanic convergence produce?
volcanic island arcs
What does an ocean-ocean convergence give rise to?
volcanic island arcs
Which boundaries are likely to result in volcanic island arcs?
offshore subduction boundaries.
Is a volcanic arc the same thing as a volcanic mountain range?
Volcanic arcs are usually island arcs off the coast of a continent, while volcanic mountain ranges are usually inland inside a continent. But the volcanoes of a volcanic island arc do form an undersea volcanic mountain range. So to some extent the difference is mostly a matter of terminology.
What surface feature occurs at collision boundaries?
Mountains, volcanic islands, and island arcs.
