What is the explanation for the formation of an island arc?
farts
Is a circle an arc?
an arc is a segment of a circle. If the arc subtends a full angle of 360 degrees, then the arc is a circle; but this is a special case of an arc.
What is the difference between arc measure and arc length?
Arc measure is the number of radians. Two similar arcs could have the same arc measure. Arc length is particular to the individual arc. One must consider the radius of the arc in question then multiply the arc measure (in radians) times the radius to get the length.
An arc that lies outside of a central angle is called?
major arc
What is the homophone for arc?
arc homophone is ark
What are the steps in arc continent mountain formation?
Continents and mountains are sometimes formed by volcanoes that occur on an arc near a subduction zone. The activity of the volcanoes can cause shifts in the plates that form mountains and lift continents.
What are the steps in arc-continent mountain formation?
Continents and mountains are sometimes formed by volcanoes that occur on an arc near a subduction zone. The activity of the volcanoes can cause shifts in the plates that form mountains and lift continents.

How many steps are there in the Arc de Triomphe?
In the arc de triomphe there are exactly 284 steps to climb to the top, or you could use the elevator.
What continent was home to Napoleon Bonaparte and Joan of Arc?
Europe. Additionally the were both French.
What are the tectonic conditions that lead to the formation of a chain of volcanoes on a continent and island arc volcanoes?
Continental and island arc volcanic chains are due to the collision of tectonic plates and the subduction of the more dense plate under the lighter, less dense plate. The resultant melting of the subducted crust as it reaches the mantle results in volcanism as the lighter, melted rock attempts to rise to the surface.
What is a continental arc?
Is a tectonic process where two plates ( an Oceanic plate and a Continental plate) collide. In Continental Arc environments the weaker oceanic plate always sub ducts under the stronger Continental plate. Most Continental arc environments lead to Volcano formation.
What plates interact to create Caribbean volcanic arc?
The Caribbean plate and the Oceanic plate. The Oceanic plate is sub-ducted under the Caribbean thus causing the formation of volcanoes thereby creating the Caribbean Volcanic Arc.
