Answer:

B. The "Ring of Fire" around the Pacific Ocean.

Explanation:

The "Ring of Fire" around the Pacific Ocean is the best example of a convergent boundary where an oceanic plate and continental plate meets.

  • At such margins, subduction is the order of the day.
  • Due to the differences in the density of the plates involved, the oceanic plates goes beneath the continental plate.
  • The pacific sea floor is ocean crust and it is denser.
  • As it slides beneath the continental crust, subduction zones are created.
  • This circular geometry of the subduction zone is known as the pacific ring of fire.
