What do you call a broken plate?
A broken plate is often referred to as "shattered" or "smashed."
What tectonic plate is cape cod on?
As with all of North America - the North American Plate.
What are some examples of collisions between a continental plate and an oceanic plate?
Examples of collisions between a continental plate and an oceanic plate include the Andes Mountains in South America, where the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, and the Himalayas in Asia, where the Indian Plate is colliding with the Eurasian Plate. These collisions result in the formation of mountain ranges and can lead to intense seismic activity and volcanic eruptions.
What do you call a plate boundary in which no new crust is made or destroyed?
recessive plate boundary

What are the names of the tectonic plates in central America?
In Central America, the main tectonic plates include the Caribbean Plate, the Cocos Plate, and the North American Plate. The Cocos Plate is subducting beneath the Caribbean Plate along the Middle America Trench, which contributes to the region's volcanic activity and seismic events. Additionally, the interaction between these plates influences the geological features and tectonic stability of Central America.
