Answer:
One such area is the circum-Pacific Ring of Fire, where the Pacific Plate meets many surrounding plates. The Ring of Fire is the most seismically and volcanically active zone in the world.
what are the 3 types of Plate Tectonics.
•Convergent boundaries: where two plates are colliding. Subduction zones occur when one or both of the tectonic plates are composed of oceanic crust.
•Divergent boundaries – where two plates are moving apart.
•Transform boundaries – where plates slide passed each other.
what are the 4 types of tectonic plate movements.
•Divergent: extensional; the plates move apart. Spreading ridges, basin-range.
•Convergent: compressional; plates move toward each other. Includes: Subduction zones and mountain building.
•Transform: shearing; plates slide past each other. •Strike-slip motion.
