Difference between Lesser Sunda Islands and Subduction

Lesser Sunda Islands vs. Subduction

The Lesser Sunda Islands (Kepulauan Nusa Tenggara "southeastern archipelago" or Kepulauan Sunda Kecil "lesser Sundanese archipelago") are a group of islands in Maritime Southeast Asia, north of Australia. Subduction is a geological process that takes place at convergent boundaries of tectonic plates where one plate moves under another and is forced or sinks due to gravity into the mantle.

Similarities between Lesser Sunda Islands and Subduction

Lesser Sunda Islands and Subduction have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Oceanic trench, Plate tectonics, Volcanic arc, Volcano.

Oceanic trench

Oceanic trenches are topographic depressions of the sea floor, relatively narrow in width, but very long.

Plate tectonics

Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus, from the τεκτονικός "pertaining to building") is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago.

Volcanic arc

A volcanic arc is a chain of volcanoes formed above a subducting plate, positioned in an arc shape as seen from above.

Volcano

A volcano is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.
