History Of Juan De Fuca Plate. Thermal and melt structure of the juan de fuca plate from ridge to trench to arc, inferred from seismic attenuation across the amphibious array. The juan de fuca is a tectonic plate west of the north american continent.
This region is part of the ring of fire, a circular. A gaping hole in the juan de fuca plate could explain why central oregon has volcanoes.
As The Juan De Fuca Plate Dives Deeper Into Earth Temperatures And Pressures Increase Causing The Plate To Partially Melt And Release The Less Dense Material Within The Rock (Water, Gases, Etc.).

As The Juan De Fuca Plate Dives Deeper Beneath The Earth’s Crust, Temperatures And Pressures Increase Causing The Plate To Partially Melt And Release Any Less Dense Material Within The Rock (Water, Gases, Etc.).
The less dense material rises, melting and absorbing surrounding rock as it bubbles upwards to form magma.
The Farallon Plate Finally Reclaimed Dominance In The Pacific Northwest After The Kula Plate Fragmented.the Last Remnant Of The Farallon Plate, Now Called The Juan De Fuca Plate After A Spanish Explorer, Began Subducting Along The Western Margin Of Washington.

The pacific northwest is the site of the cascadia subduction zone, where an oceanic tectonic plate (the juan de fuca plate) is being pulled and driven (i.e., subducted) beneath a continental plate (the north american plate).
