When two convergent boundaries collide, especially in the ocean, an Island arc is formed.

When these  two convergent plates collide, the older plate which is denser subducts beneath the younger plate.  As the subducting plate is pushed deeper into the mantle, it melts. The magma this creates rises and erupts. This forms a line of volcanoes known as an island arc , with considerable earth quakes created.

Examples of island arcs include Japan, Indonesia, the Phillipine Islands and the Aleutian Islands  of Alaska.

Alchen [17]

B. Bicarbonate

<em>The blood brings bicarbonate to the lungs, and then it is exhaled as carbon dioxide. The kidneys also help regulate bicarbonate... it is excreted and reabsorbed by the kidneys.</em>

<em>The body's main response is to get rid of more carbonic acid and hold on to as much bicarbonate base in the kidneys as it can.</em>
