7. Volcanic Island Arc

concept sketch must also identify the following:
1. Type of lithosphere (distinguish oceanic from continental crust), asthenosphere and magma chambers (volcanic activity)
2. Direction of plate motion (boundary named and motion indicated with arrows) - motion must agree with surface features.
