Florida is not on or near a plate boundary.

At convergent boundaries, two or more tectonic plates collide and form mountains.

At divergent boundaries, two plates move away from each other.

At transform boundaries, two tectonic plates slide and rub against each other.

What is subduction, why does it happen, and where are subduction zones found?
Subduction is when one plate subducts under another plate because it is denser.

A mid-ocean ridge is an undersea mountain chain, where new ocean floor are produced at a divergent boundary. Mid-ocean ridges are formed when the boundaries spread apart from each other and molten material seeps up, and cools/hardens.

Convection is the transfer of heat through liquids and gasses. Convection is a type of heat transfer that occurs throughout fluids. Convection currents, is the term used to describe the movement of the fluid as it heats and cools (gains thermal energy and loses it). As it gains thermal energy it expands, becomes less dense and rises. As it loses thermal energy, it contracts, becomes more dense, and sinks.

Divergent boundaries can form rift valleys, and mid-ocean ridges. Convergent boundaries can form mountains,  subduction zones, volcanoes and deep-ocean trenches. Transform boundaries can form faults, and cause earthquakes.

Fault- A break or fracture in the Earth's crust.

Why do so many earthquakes and volcanoes occur in the region known as the "Ring of Fire"?
The ring of ring of fire is a ring of volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean that results from the subduction of oceanic plates beneath less denser continental plates. Most of Earth's volcanoes are located around the ring of fire because it is the location of most Earth's subduction zones. As a lot of stress builds in those subduction zones the crust shakes and trembles causing many earthquakes to occur, as well as volcano eruptions.

What causes the movement of the earth's tectonic plates is convection currents. Convection currents are currents that go up through the mantle and push tectonic plates out or into each other.

Evidence that there was most likely a super continent named Pangaea is that the continents when put together look like a jigsaw puzzle they fit together almost perfectly. Also there were fossils on a continent on the other side of an ocean that were bones from the same animal. Say you find a stegosaurus' head in South Africa and the body in South America. This proves the theory of continental drift.

Igneous: melting and cooling
Sedimentary: weathering, erosion, cementation, and compaction
Metamorphic: Heat and presure
