A volcanic arc of stratovolcanoes forms on the overriding plate. These volcanoes do not erupt as frequently as shield volcanoes that form over hot spots. The two largest volcanic eruptions of the 20th century were stratovolcanoes in these zones. Two oceanic plate converge. If two oceanic plates converge the heavier and denser of the two plates subducts into the upper mantle. The Aleutian Islands in Alaska have formed as the Pacific Plate subducts beneath the North American Plate.
