PacificPlate

The Pacific Plate and the surrounding plates help make up what is known as the "Ring of Fire". This name comes from The Pacific Plate being a largly unstable plate and is moving around with its surrounding plates. Therefore more volcanic islands are building in the Pacific Ocean, like Hawaii. Some of the boundaries helping to make these islands are: >__North American/Pacific Boundaries__-This boundary is a tranform boundary. This makes the San Andreas Fault where the two plates slide past each other. >__Phillipine/Pacific Boundary-__This is a convergent boundary. Here the Pacific Plate dives under the Phillipine plate and creates the Marianas Trench. >__Antarctic/Pacific Boundary__-This boundary is a divergent boundary. This forms the Antarctic/Pacific Ridge when the lava seeps up between the crack the two plates form when they separated from each other. >__Australian/Pacific Boundary__-There are two boundaries here: convergent and transform. The convergent boundary is just north of New Zealand, and the transform boundary forms the Alpine Fault. >__Eurasion/Pacific Boundary__- This is also a convergent boundary. The Pacific Plate goes under the Eurasion Plate. Mount Fuji is made by this Plate Boundary.
