Pacific Plate boundary system

Target entity: Pacific Plate boundary system
Context triple: [Mariana subduction zone, partOf, Pacific Plate boundary system]

• A. Pacific–North American plate boundary system
  The Pacific–North American plate boundary system is a major tectonic boundary zone where the Pacific Plate and North American Plate interact through a complex network of faults and plate motions along western North America.
• B. North American plate boundary system
  The North American plate boundary system is the complex network of tectonic plate boundaries and associated fault zones that define the interactions and margins of the North American Plate with adjacent plates.
• C. East Pacific tectonic system
  The East Pacific tectonic system is a major geological region in the eastern Pacific Ocean characterized by active seafloor spreading, transform faults, and subduction zones that shape the surrounding oceanic plates and continental margins.
• D. Cocos–North America plate boundary
  The Cocos–North America plate boundary is a convergent tectonic margin where the oceanic Cocos Plate subducts beneath the continental North American Plate, generating significant seismic and volcanic activity along Mexico’s Pacific coast.
• E. Cascadia Subduction Zone
  The Cascadia Subduction Zone is a major convergent plate boundary off the Pacific Northwest coast of North America, capable of generating powerful megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Target entity: Pacific Plate boundary system
