The map shows the locations of four active volcanoes in the Caribbean Sea. What do these volcanoes indicate about plate tectonics in the region?

The volcanoes form an island arc, indicating a converging plate boundary

The volcanoes form a line, indicating a diverging plate boundary.

Two plates are moving past each other, causing faulting and magma formation.

Scientists recently discovered that rocks collected from the Franklin Mountains in West Tests and rocks collected from mountains in eastern Antarctica were exactly the same age. Further research showed that the rocks were chemically and geologically the same and came from the same magma source. This discovery provides evidence of--

coastal erosion

plate tectonics

ocean currents

glacial melting
