What kind of plate is the South American plate?

What is the closeset tectonic plate to Oklahoma?
The closest tectonic plate to Oklahoma is the North American Plate. Oklahoma is located on the interior of the North American Plate, away from plate boundaries where most tectonic activity occurs.
Is there going to be an new born hawaiian island?
yes because as the tectonic plate its on moves so does a hot spot (unserwater volcano) wich creates those islands.supposedly the islands name is going to be "loihi".
How is the hawaiian chain forming?

On which tectonic plate is panama located?
Panama is located on the Caribbean Plate. This tectonic plate is situated to the east of the boundary with the North American Plate, which runs along the southern coast of Panama.
When are island arc volcanoes formed?
The island-arc volcanoes are formed from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench.
What tectonic plate does the Fernandina Island land on?

What caused loihi to erupt?
Loihi is a volcano located underwater off the coast of Hawaii. Its eruptions are caused by the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates, specifically the Pacific Plate moving over the Hawaiian hotspot. This movement allows magma to rise to the surface and erupt, gradually building the Loihi seamount.
When are island-arc volcanoes formed?
The island-arc volcanoes are formed from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench.
What are three results of tectonic plate activity?
Results can be such as earthquakes, or mountains and volcanoes forming.

There were two tectonic plates involved: the Pacific plate and the plate under Northern Honshu (it is unknown which plate is under the island).
Where do volcanos happen?
Most volcanoes appear at the tectonic plate boundaries where friction between the plates and the mantle makes magma which then push through near the plate boundaries forming volcanoes.
