Destructive plate margins in the Pacific Ocean are primarily found along the boundaries of the Pacific Plate, where it subducts beneath surrounding continental and oceanic plates. Notable locations include the Mariana Trench, where the Pacific Plate subducts beneath the Mariana Plate, and the Japan Trench, where it subducts beneath the North American Plate. These regions are characterized by intense seismic activity and the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.
No, Alaska is not located on the Atlantic Ocean. It is located in the northern part of North America, and it borders the Arctic Ocean to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the west and south.
The Ring of Fire (Pacific Ring of Fire) is an area of Pacific Plate subduction, rimming (of course) the Pacific Ocean. The plate subduction creates a line of volcanism geographically around its perimeter that appears to form a circle or ring. The Ring of Fire is the subducting plate boundary of the shrinking Pacific Ocean. The subducting oceanic crust is being drawn under less dense oceanic and continental crust and is melting into the upper mantle which can lead to volcanism and earthquakes.

Active continental margins are primarily located along tectonic plate boundaries where oceanic plates are subducting beneath continental plates. These margins are characterized by deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs, and frequent seismic activity. Examples include the western coast of South America along the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Northwest coast of North America.
The area encircling the Pacific Ocean is called the "Ring of Fire," because its edges mark a circle of high volcanic and seismic activity (earthquakes). Most of the active volcanoes on Earth are located on this circumference. On the periphery of the Pacific Ocean, the edge of the Pacific Continental Plate is expanding in the seabed, and is hitting the North American Plate, the Nazca Plate, the Eurasian Plate, and other plates, causing the margins of the plates to collide, buckle, and compress, causing earthquakes and volcanoes.
The state of Hawaii is located entirely within the _____ Ocean.
