The first image here is a sketch of an oceanic plate subducting beneath a continental plate at a collisional plate boundary. The oceanic plate typically sinks at a fairly high angle (somewhat exaggerated here). A volcanic arc grows above the subducting plate. The second shows the plate tectonic setting during the growth of the Laramide orogeny. The angle of the subducting plate is significantly flatter, moving the focus of melting and mountain building muchy farther inland than is normally expected.
