The map that is attached was created in the 1990's. What prediction can you make about what changes will occur, if any, over the next 100-1000 years?

• The pattern of volcanoes forming the Ring of Fire would change - the Ring of Fire would no longer exist.

• The pattern of volcanoes forming the Ring of Fire would be the same - the number and location of the active volcanoes would remain exactly the same.

• The pattern of volcanoes forming the Ring of Fire would be the same, but the exact number and locations of active volcanoes would change.

• The pattern of volcanoes forming the Ring of Fire would exist, but would move to a different part of the world.

The linear pattern of volcanoes suggests the Cascade mountain range could be located along a tectonic boundary. What type of plate tectonic boundary would you expect to find where oceanic and continental plates meet? Choose one answer below.

• A convergent boundary, because there’s really only one type of plate; an oceanic plate is the same as continental but is covered in water.

• A convergent boundary, because this type of boundary forms where ocean and continental plates meet.

• A divergent boundary, because volcanic activity only occurs near that type of boundary.

• A divergent boundary, because there’s really only one type of plate; an oceanic plate is the same as continental but is covered in water.
