Where do deep-ocean trenches occur?
Ocean ridges and deep ocean trenches force slab pull and slab push to facilitate plate tectonics. The ocean ridges raise the ocean floor pushing the plate toward the trench, which is lower pulling the plate into the subduction zone.
How many years would the plate under the Pacific ocean take to move 36 inches?
The Pacific Plate moves at an average rate of about 2.75 inches per year. Therefore, to move 36 inches, it would take approximately 13 years.
Which two tectonic plates are separated by the midocean ridge?
The mid ocean ridge separates many plates, not just two. In the Atlantic Ocean it separates the Eurasian and African plates from the North American Plate and the African Plate from the South American Plate. In the Indian Ocean it separates the African Plate from the Antarctic, Australian, Indian Plates and the Australian Plate from the Antarctic Plate.

The Pacific Plate is one of the largest tectonic plates on Earth, covering the Pacific Ocean floor. It is currently moving in a northwesterly direction at a rate of a few centimeters per year. The movement of the Pacific Plate is responsible for creating many geological features such as the Ring of Fire and causing earthquakes and volcanic activity in the region.

Why is the ring of fire a prime location for active volcanoes?
The Ring of Fire is the result of the Pacific Plate and several smaller Oceanic plate producing many subduction zones around the rim of the Pacific Ocean. Subduction Zones are the primary producers of volcanoes on land.
