Cascadia Subduction Zone

Target entity: Cascadia Subduction Zone
Context triple: [Juan de Fuca Plate, subductionZoneName, Cascadia Subduction Zone]

• A. Juan de Fuca Ridge
  Juan de Fuca Ridge is an underwater volcanic spreading center in the northeastern Pacific Ocean where new oceanic crust forms as tectonic plates diverge.
• B. San Andreas Fault
  The San Andreas Fault is a major tectonic boundary in California where the Pacific and North American plates meet, notorious for generating powerful earthquakes.
• C. Peru–Chile Trench region
  The Peru–Chile Trench region is a highly active subduction-zone area off the west coast of South America, known for its deep ocean trench, frequent earthquakes, and major role in Andean mountain building.
• D. Cascadia
  Cascadia is a bioregion and cultural concept in the Pacific Northwest that encompasses parts of the U.S. and Canadian west coast, known for its temperate rainforests, mountain ranges, and strong environmental identity.
• E. Cascade Volcanic Arc
  The Cascade Volcanic Arc is a major chain of active and dormant volcanoes in western North America, stretching from northern California through Oregon and Washington into British Columbia.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
