Hey! I also really liked your page.

Like Carson said, some of the wording is a little off, but I went in and edited it slightly. Hopefully you'll find that it flows better.

Your image is REALLY good, I don't know how you did that.

I think first identifying the differences in the different arcs was a really good strategy. But I think you should bullet each arc, so you would have four bullet points instead of 3.

There might be a few more words that you can bullet as well, so maybe check that out.

After the origin header, you should add one more step between "This process can creates relatively buoyant magma, which subsequently forms a series volcanoes at the surface along the subduction zone." Maybe say that the magma rises to the surface of the crust at weak spots? I actually don't know exactly how it rises or where... but that might be good to add.

Instead of "Others" as a final header, maybe you can call it "Subduction and the sediment budget" ?? Or something a little more specific.

I like that you included "see also" at the end.

You really did an awesome job! -Annie

Hello Mr. Zou, hope you are doing well. I read your article and have a couple of useful comments. In the first section the word hinterland could be linked as not everyone knows what that is. The wordage following the 2nd bullet is slightly awkward. You could say, "LIke their names suggest, an Oceanic arc is a volcanic arc which is built on oceanic crust...etc" Following the 3rd bullet, a comma is needed between andesitic rock and while.

The section titled "Origin" is informative and fairly easy to follow. The only suggestion I might have here is to maybe move your figure from the top to this section.

The section titled "Petrology" is also informative. I like the way you listed the information. You might want to add a picture here of one of the minerals if possible.

The section titled "Others" needs further work. A better title is needed as "others" is unclear. I can decently understand what you are talking about, but try to make it easier to follow. The "accretional prism" link does not work.

I like the list of Continental arcs at the end as well as the see also list. Solid references used — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carsonbanks812 (talkcontribs) 01:03, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Great page Jiawei! Maybe start with a more overarching introductions about what a cont. arc is and why we should care about them! Then get to the nitty gritty details. Also, make your bottom figures larger because they are very cool. The English needs a little work but that is understandable. I'd gladly sit down with you to help with that! There are a few more words you may could bracket I would go in and check for that! Cheers, Elly
