Where does a convergent boundary occur

A: where the Red Sea and Africa meet
B: where India and Asia meet
C: where the North American plate meets the pacific plate
D: where the United States meets Canada

Answer 1

The answer is; C

Where the Pacific plate and North American plate collides is currently referred to as the ‘ Ring of Fire’. There are other plates colliding in the same convergent boundary – such as the Colcos plate. The area is referred to as the ‘Ring of Fire’ because the area is prone to high seismic activity contributing to approximately 90% of world earthquakes.
