Do earthquakes occur near island arcs?
Yes, earthquakes frequently occur near island arcs as they are geologically active regions where tectonic plates are colliding or subducting. Subduction zones along these island arcs can generate powerful earthquakes due to the intense geological activity.
What does an oceanic-oceanic convergence 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.
On which type of plate boundary do island arcs occur?
convergent boundaries
What do oceanic vs oceanic convergence produce?
volcanic island arcs
What does an ocean-ocean convergence give 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 is a island arcs?
it is a string of islands formed above a deep ocean trench
