The piece of information that we cannot extrapolate from the map is:

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a place where plates move together.

This is incorrect because the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is actually a divergent boundary where tectonic plates are moving apart, not together. The other statements can be validated based on geological knowledge and map observations.
