How does Iterate work inside an Action

Question

I'm having trouble figuring out how does <Iterate > work inside an <Action> in a workflow. My <Action> is to call a subprocess that takes several arguments and initiates an approval. Since I need to fire-off several approvals at the same time instead of chaining them I use <Iterate> that loops over a list variable.
Now the subprocess being an approval the workflow gets suspended and divided into multiple parallel paths. My question is that how do these parallel paths assimilate together after approval or they don't assimilate at all and process in separate parallel lines or otherwise whichever approval returns first takes precedence and proceeds with rest of the activities.
TIA,

Thanks for the reply. But this doesn't answer my question completely.
Say within <Iterate> I specify **for='var_name' in='list_name'** will it continue to run after it has run once for each element in the list. If yes, doesn't it trigger the sub-process multiple times, something I don't want. If no, what happens next ? (that was actually my original ques).
Say if list_name had 5 elements, it triggers one sub-process (which is a multiapproval) for each of them. What happens next ? Does it transition to next activity? Does it wait for all approvals to finish approve/reject?
