SUBDUCTION-RELATED VOLCANISM
... Subduction related volcanoes are typically stratavolcanoes, in contrast to shield volcanoes formed hot-spot volcanism. In island arcs, there may be a development of a back-arc basin, where tholeiitic magmas may erupt. This is observed, for example, in the Japanese arc. Back-arc structures are lackin ...

Basalt
Basalt (pronounced /bəˈsɔːlt/, /ˈbæsɒlt/, /ˈbæsɔːlt/, or /ˈbeɪsɔːlt/)is a common extrusive igneous (volcanic) rock formed from the rapid cooling of basaltic lava exposed at or very near the surface of a planet or moon. Flood basalt describes the formation in a series of lava basalt flows.
