Hot Spots
Subduction Zone
The region where an oceanic lithospheric plate sinks down into the asthenosphere at a convergent boundary.
Continental Arc
Island Arc
Hot Spots
Subduction Zone
Areas of volcanic activity that result from plumes of hot solid material that have risen from deep inside earths mantle
Continental Arc
Island Arc
Hot Spots
Subduction Zone
