What 2 tectonic plates border the Juan de Fuca plate?
The Juan de Fuca Plate is bordered by the North American Plate to the east and the Pacific Plate to the west.
How was the Juan de fuca strait formed?
The Juan de Fuca Strait was formed by tectonic plate movement along the Cascadia Subduction Zone where the Juan de Fuca Plate is being subducted beneath the North American Plate. This process has created a deep and narrow waterway between Vancouver Island in Canada and the Olympic Peninsula in the United States.
What plates are associated with the development of cascade range?
The Juan de Fuca Plate and the Pacific Plate are associated with the development of the Cascade Range. The Juan de Fuca Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate, leading to volcanic activity in the Cascade Range as magma rises to the surface.

What is the smallest minor plate?
The Juan de Fuca Plate is one of the smallest minor tectonic plates on Earth. It is located off the coast of the Pacific Northwest in North America.
What are the 8 minor lithospheric plates?

What two boundaries exist that cause the volcanoes to exist along the Cascade Range in the Pacific Northwest?
The two boundaries responsible for the volcanoes along the Cascade Range are the subduction zone between the Juan de Fuca Plate and the North American Plate, causing the Cascade Volcanic Arc, and the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the Juan de Fuca Plate, triggering the formation of the Juan de Fuca Ridge.
