Definitions:

Ocean-Continent Convergent Zone

A boundary between tectonic plates where an oceanic plate is subducting beneath a continental plate, often generating volcanic and seismic activity.

Accretionary Prism

A wedge-shaped accumulation of sediment and rock scraped off the top of a descending tectonic plate at a convergent plate boundary.

Volcanic Mountain Belt

A geographical area consisting of numerous volcanoes which are formed along plate boundaries or over hotspots in Earth's crust.
