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.

Sea drilling cores are one way to get samples that can be used for analysis whereby some information such as type of sediment on the seafloor and type of rock on the seafloor can be known. Surface samplers can be collected from sediment at very top layers or inside deep of the ocean floor. These samples could have animals hidden, , water and some particles that can be analysed in the muddy deep, devices such as Coring devices can be used in collection of cores.
