∙ 13y agoThe Juan De Fuca Plate is located to the west of the North American Plate. These two plates are separated by the Cascadia subduction zone. This plate slides under the North American Plate. This Plate, in conjunction with the North American Plate, is largely responsible for the many earthquakes and volcanoes in the Cascada Range.

∙ 11y agoAll three types of plate boundary, convergent, divergent, and transform, are found at the edges of the Pacific Plate, as is the case with many plates. Most of the boundaries of the Pacific Plate that significantly affect humans are convergent, with the notable exception of the San Andreas Fault, which is a transform boundary.

What type of plate boundary is California?
The Pacific plate is on the left and The North American plate is on the right. The Pacific plate is moving in a northwesterly direction while the North American plate is moving Southwest This is a conservative plate boundary where pressure is being built up and at any point one plate can jerk and release all this energy in the form of shockwaves.
What type of plate boundary caused Mount St Helens?
The cause of Mt. St. Helens' volcanism is due to the subduction melting of the Pacific Plate as it subducts under the North American Plate, located along a convergent plate boundary or fault. No, Mount Saint Helens is not on a hot spot, nor is it on a fault. Mount Saint Helens is part island arc volcanic chain (the Casade Mountaind) due to the subduction of the Pacific Plate under the North American Craton. NOTE: The Farallon Plate is no longer here; it ceased to exist with the end of the Laramide Orogeny some 30 million years ago. The remnants of the Farallon Plate are the Juan de Fuca Plate of British Columbia and northwestern Washington State, and the Cocos Plate of southwestern Mexico. Neither of these microplates has any effect on Mount Saint Helens, which is in southwestern Washington. I found this answer on answers.yahoo.com
