The map below shows the location of the Pacific "Ring of Fire,” which is an area of an extraordinary amount of geological activity. The American portion of the Ring of Fire includes the Cascade Volcanic Arc in the northwest and the famous San Andreas in California. This network has been created through interactions of the Pacific, North American, and other tectonic plates.
Given that the Ring of Fire includes oceanic features such as trenches and continental features such as volcanoes, what can you infer about the interaction of the Pacific Plate with the plates surrounding it?
a combination of oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries, where the Pacific Plate is subducted under other oceanic plates causing deep trenches, and oceanic-continental convergent boundaries, where the Pacific Plate subducts under continental plates, causing volcano arcs.
a combination of oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries, where the Pacific Plate is subducted under other plates creating ocean features such as rift valleys and seafloor spreading, and continental-continental convergent boundaries that create mountain ranges along the coast
a combination of oceanic-oceanic divergent boundaries that create deep trenches through subduction of plates and oceanic-continental convergent boundaries that create features such as the Cascade Volcanic Arc
a combination of divergent boundaries along the edges of the Pacific Plate that create the deep trenches and volcanic arcs found around the edges of the Ring; and transform boundaries between the Pacific Plate and the continental plates surrounding it that give rise to volcanic arcs on land.
