Queen Charlotte Triple Junction
ID: queen-charlotte-triple-junction
The Queen Charlotte Triple Junction is a tectonic boundary located in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean, near the coast of British Columbia, Canada. It is a significant geological feature where three tectonic plates meet: the Pacific Plate, the North American Plate, and the Juan de Fuca Plate. This junction is characterized by a complex interplay of tectonic processes, including plates moving past one another (transform boundaries) and converging (subduction zones).
