Convergent Margin Tectonic Setting and Magma Generation Comparison, New Zealand and Aleutian Islands.

Description
-
For these two areas, the tectonic setting and magma generating processes are the same. In both areas, the oceanic-oceanic convergent system is the setting. There is one oceanic plate subducting under the other. In both situations, the main driving force for the melt is the addition of volatiles into the system from the subducting slab.
