What is a string of islands formed by the volcanoes along a deep ocean trench called?
A volcanic island arc.
Subduction zones are responsible for the formation of the deep ocean trench, with the crust melting as it descends into the mantle and hot liquid magma pushing upward toward the surface, where it forms volcanoes.
Volcanic islands, also known as volcanic island arcs, are formed when liquid magma rises to the surface along the edges of the ocean trench and subduction zone.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
