The piece of information that we cannot extrapolate from analyzing the map of global geologic features is:
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a place where plates move together.
In fact, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent boundary where tectonic plates are moving apart, not together. This statement is incorrect and cannot be deduced from studying geologic maps. The other statements can be verified based on geologic knowledge and maps.
