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 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 is the type of rock typical of island arcs?
The type of rock typical of island arcs is andesite. Andesite is an intermediate volcanic rock that is commonly found in volcanic arcs where oceanic crust subducts beneath continental crust, forming magma that eventually erupts to create volcanic islands.
What do oceanic vs oceanic convergence produce?
volcanic island arcs
What does an ocean-ocean convergence give rise to?
volcanic island arcs
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.
What does an oceanic-oceanic convergence give rise to?
An oceanic-oceanic convergence occurs when two plates made of oceanic crust collide. This collision can lead to the formation of deep oceanic trenches, volcanic island arcs, and earthquakes. Over time, the denser plate may subduct beneath the other, leading to the recycling of oceanic crust back into the mantle.
What is the difference between volcanic island and volcanic arc?
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 ocenic-oceanic convergence give to rise to?
volcanic island arcs K12 Earth Science
Newly formed land consisting of an arc-shaped island chain is called?
Continental volcanic arcs
What are the physical features of the Earth that brought about by the movement of plates?
Volcanic islands, mountain ranges, island arcs.
