The plate that America sits on is called the North American Plate. It is a tectonic plate that includes North America, most of the Caribbean, and parts of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
A broken plate is often referred to as "shattered" or "smashed."
As with all of North America - the North American 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.

North America and South America have edges that are not all plate boundaries. The boundary between North and South America is known as the Central American Subduction Zone, where the Cocos Plate is subducting beneath the Caribbean Plate.
