Island Arc

An island arc is a type of archipelago, composed predominantly of a series of volcanoes, which arcs roughly parallel to the boundary of oceanic tectonic plates that are being subducted beneath lighter continental plates.

Continental Rifting

The process by which a continent stretches and splits along a rift zone, potentially leading to the formation of a new ocean basin.

Passive Margin

A continental margin that is not associated with plate boundaries and hence experiences little seismic activity.

Subduction
