Question

1. what process created the ring of fire?

○ ocean-to-ocean subduction
○ ocean-to-continent subduction
○ continent-to-continent subduction
○ ocean-to-ocean convergence
○ ocean-to-continent convergence

Explanation:

The Ring of Fire is formed by the convergence of oceanic and continental plates. When dense oceanic crust subducts under less dense continental crust (ocean-to-continent convergence), it triggers volcanic and seismic activity—key features of the Ring of Fire. Subduction is a type of convergence, but the broader process describing plate interaction here is convergence.

Answer:

ocean-to-continent convergence
