Mount Rainier is one of an enormous ring of volcanoes known as the Ring of Fire, which roughly encircles the Pacific Ocean in a horseshoe shape. More specifically, it is a member of the Cascade volcanic mountain range. The Cascade volcanoes are a chain of volcanoes running from Northern California in the United States of America to southern British Columbia, Canada fed by the subduction of the Juan de Fuca oceanic plate (which borders, but is distinct from the Pacific Plate by means of an oceanic ridge off the Pacific Coast) under the North American plate a few hundred miles to the west of the volcanoes.

Is there a fault line in Turkey?
There will be many fault lines of varying importance yes, The anatolian plate intersects the Eurasian plate there
What fault line runs through Alaska?
Denali fault. It is a transform plate boundary
How how do earthquakes happen in Arkansas if Arkansas is not on a plate boundary?
Arkansas is located on a fault line called the New Madrid fault line also many small earthquakes recently have been caused by natural gas drilling.
What fault line runs through E Tennessee?
Tennessee is located on top of the North American tectonic plate. It is far from any plate boundaries, so earthquakes are not common.
What is a continental margin is also known as a plate boundary?
Fault line
What fault line is Japan on?
Japan is located near a triple fault line between the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate (the Japan Trench) and the Philippine plate (the Nankai Trough).
What fault line runs through Iceland?
Iceland is located on the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge. This is a divergent tectonic plate boundary.
Where is the denali fault line?
The Denali Fault line is located in Alaska.

How how do earthquakes happen in Arkansas if Arkansas is not on a plate boundary?
Arkansas is located on a fault line called the New Madrid fault line also many small earthquakes recently have been caused by natural gas drilling.
Is Texas on a fault line?
no Texas is not in the ring of fire because it is in the middle of the north American plate.
What is a fault in plate tectonics?
A fault in plate tectonics is the line where two plates come together. A well-known and very visible example of this is the San Andreas fault in California.
Is Disneyland located on the fault-line?
no
What fault line runs through E Tennessee?
Tennessee is located on top of the North American tectonic plate. It is far from any plate boundaries, so earthquakes are not common.
What is a fault or boundary?
Fault lines exist where one tectonic plate meets another. For example the San Andreas Fault in California is the boundary between the North American plate (on the east of the fault line) and the Pacific plate (on the west of the fault line)
Where does an earthquake always occur?
Along a plate boundary or a fault line.
