• Occurs when an ocean plate collides with a continental plate

• The ocean plate will ALWAYS go underneath the continental plate

• The process of the ocean plate going underneath a continental plate is called - SUBDUCTION

• Occurs when an ocean plate collides with another ocean plate

• The most dense ocean plate will ALWAYS go underneath the less dense plate

• The process of an ocean plate going underneath another ocean plate is called - SUBDUCTION

Archipelago or an Island Arc– an archipelago is a chain of volcanic

islands

• Occurs when a continental plate collides with another continental plate

• The two continents deform because of the collision

• Both plates are bent up and down
