Volcanic island arcs are produced by ocean-ocean convergence. Island arcs are volcanic islands that form parallel to ocean trenches in subduction zones. They are typically a curving chain of volcanic islands occurring around the margin of ocean basins. One example of oceanic island arcs are the Mariana Islands in the western Pacific Ocean.
