Nothing, it's a theory, like evolution!
The Plate Tectonic theory tells us that there are plates on which peices of sea/ land occurs. On these boundaries, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur the most.
The US is located on the North American Plate.
Well, the plate tectonics are under us, under the continents, under the ocean floor. They are what cause earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. If there are any further questions just ask.
Since you did not tell us WHICH plate "this" one is, we cannot answer correctly
Knowing about the Earths inside helps to understand tectonic plates. The currents in the mantle move the tectonic plates-well they can change it and they help them move. However, it doesn't really affect much considering tectonic plates move on their own.

The North American, Juan de Fuca and Pacific plates affect the US. It is also possible that the Cocos and Caribbean plates may also have a minor effect on the US as well.
