Question

match the following volcanic island arcs formed here. example: aleutian islands arc volcanos formed here. example: andes mountains mountains formed here. example: himalayas continent - continent continent - ocean ocean - ocean

Explanation:

1. Ocean-Ocean convergence occurs when two oceanic tectonic plates collide; the denser plate subducts, creating volcanic island arcs like the Aleutian Islands Arc.
2. Continent-Ocean convergence happens when an oceanic plate subducts under a continental plate, melting to form volcanoes along the continent, such as the Andes Mountains.
3. Continent-Continent convergence involves two continental plates colliding (neither subducts easily), pushing up to form large mountain ranges like the Himalayas.

Answer:

• Volcanic Island Arcs formed here. Example: Aleutian Islands Arc → Ocean - Ocean
• Volcanos formed here. Example: Andes Mountains → Continent - Ocean
• Mountains formed here. Example: Himalayas → Continent - Continent
