Answer:

North American tectonic plate

Step-by-step explanation:

Frosty Peak is located in the northwestern part of the North American tectonic plate, relatively close to the boundaries with the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate. Frosty Peak is a volcano, of the stratovolcano type. It has an elevation of 1920 meters above sea level. It is part of the ''Ring of Fire'', the largest chain of volcanoes on the planet. Its formation is a result of the subduction zone between the Pacific plate and the North American plate, resulting in extensive volcanic activity, near the subduction zone. The name of this volcano may seem little ironical, as the volcanoes are associated with heat, not with frost, but because of the area where this volcano is located, it is mostly covered with ice and snow.
