The back-arc region is the area behind a volcanic arc.[1] In island volcanic arcs, it consists of back-arc basins of oceanic crust with abyssal depths, which may be separated by remnant arcs, similar to island arcs.[1] In continental arcs, the back-arc region is part of the continental platform, either dry land (subaerial) or forming shallow marine basins.[1]
