During the Mesozoic era, the movement of tectonic plates caused the North American plate and the Pacific plate to collide due to the process of subduction. The Pacific plate was subducted beneath the North American plate, leading to the formation of the North American Cordillera mountain range and the associated geological events like volcanic activity and mountain building.
The plates that collide in Haiti are the Caribbean Plate and the North American Plate. In Chile, the collision is between the South American Plate and the Nazca Plate. These interactions between tectonic plates result in frequent seismic activity in both regions.
The Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate
The Pacific Plate is currently being subducted under the North American Plate. Subduction zones are when one plate is being forced under another at a convergent boundary (where two plates collide). When the Pacific Plate is being subducted under the North American Plate, the crust of the Pacific Plate melts, and creates volcanoes along the edge of the North American Plate. So, the relative motion of the two plates is that they are converging, or moving together.This same process is happening at the South American and Nazca Plates.
The North Pole sits over the North American Plate.

Haiti is located near a transform boundary between the North American and Caribbean plate. As such they do not collide but slide past each other.

The Eurasian Plate and the North American Plate
- The Plates of the Earth (Answer)Example:Take the Pacific Plate and the North American plate. Grab them and collide themtogether, which causes earthquakes, tsunamis and other types of natural disasters. The North American Plate comes under the Pacific Plate into the deeper mantle.
The mountain range in which the eurasian and the African plate collide are called the alps!

the north American plate is the plate that covers most of north America

The Bahamas are located on the North American Plate.
On the North American plate.
The Andes are a result of the collision of the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate.
