Convergent Landform/ Physiography Comparison
-
Description
-
The landforms in both convergent setting have composite and strato volcanoes. The Aleutian Arc is less developed and less evolved of an arc, so there are smaller, less diverse volcanoes in the Aleutian Arc when compared to New Zealand. The New Zealand arc has much more material which has caused the volcanic islands to form together into two larger islands, allowing for even more of a diverse magma to reach the surface and cause larger, more explosive stratovolcanoes.
