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.
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.
major arc
No, in order to fine the arc length you need a formula which is: Circumference x arc measure/360 degrees
No, Redoubt Volcano is not part of an island arc. It is located in the Aleutian Range in Alaska and is associated with the Aleutian volcanic arc, which is a chain of volcanoes formed by the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate.
you can find an island arc in the Philippines islands
Mount Fuji is a stratovolcano. However, its located at an island arc, Japan. Mount Fujis platonic environment is there for an island arc.
and island arc is formed by undersea volcanoes. built over time, and island arc is made of basalt and melted rock from the mantle.
yes

movement of plate tectonics move the island into an arc.
No. Mount Rainier is on the mainland, so it is part of a continental arc.
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.
The Aleutian Islands.
The definition of the word island arc is " a curved chain of volcanic islands located at a tectonic plate margin, typically with a deep ocean trench on the convex side."
The island-arc volcanoes are formed from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench.
