Select one:

a. Transform boundary

b. Ocean-ocean convergent boundary

c. Ocean-continent convergent boundary

d. Divergent boundary

e. Continent-continent convergent boundary

Answer 1

C.) Ocean-continent convergent boundary

Step-by-step explanation:

Near the coast of Oregon, Washington, Canada, and Alaska is located the Juan de la Fuca plate. This is a convergent plate boundary that has caused severely strong earthquakes. This type of plate is a subduction zone since it subducts from North America under what's left of the Farallon oceanic plate.
