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.

∙ 13y agoCalifornia contains two different plate boundaries! The Juan de Fuca plate is subducting under the North American plate at the northern part of California, so this is a convergent plate boundary. The San Andreas Fault is part of a transform boundary that runs from the edge of the Juan de Fuca plate down through California to the Salton Sea.

What type of plate boundary is foud where the gorda plate meets the north american plate?
The boundary between the Gorda plate and the North American Plate is a transform boundary. Transform boundaries that lie at near land are the most destructive, which is the case in Southern California, which is close to this plate boundary.

The plate boundary between the Eurasian plate and African plate.
Which type of plate boundary is regional metamorphism associated?
The type of plate boundary that regional metamorphism is associated with convergent plate boundaries. A convergent boundary is also known as a destructive plate boundary due to subduction.
