Tonga–Kermadec Arc

Target entity: Tonga–Kermadec Arc
Context triple: [Ring of Fire, contains, Tonga–Kermadec Arc]

• A. Aleutian Arc
  The Aleutian Arc is a major volcanic island chain and subduction zone stretching from Alaska toward Russia, forming part of the tectonically active northern boundary of the Pacific Ocean.
• B. Mariana volcanic arc
  The Mariana volcanic arc is a chain of active and dormant volcanoes in the western Pacific Ocean formed by the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the Philippine Sea Plate.
• C. Aleutian Trench
  The Aleutian Trench is a deep oceanic trench in the North Pacific where the Pacific Plate subducts beneath the North American Plate, forming part of a major seismically active subduction zone.
• D. Mariana Island Arc
  The Mariana Island Arc is a curved chain of volcanic islands in the western Pacific Ocean formed by the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the Philippine Sea Plate.
• E. East Pacific Rise
  The East Pacific Rise is a major mid-oceanic ridge and seafloor spreading center in the eastern Pacific Ocean, where tectonic plates diverge and new oceanic crust is formed.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Target entity: Tonga–Kermadec Arc
Target entity description: The Tonga–Kermadec Arc is a major submarine volcanic island arc and trench system in the southwest Pacific Ocean, formed by the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the Indo-Australian Plate and known for its intense seismic and volcanic activity.
