The nearest plate boundary to America is the boundary between the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate, located along the west coast of the United States. This boundary is characterized as a transform boundary, where the two plates slide past each other, leading to significant seismic activity, particularly in California. The San Andreas Fault is a notable feature of this boundary. Additionally, the boundary extends northward into Canada and southward into Mexico.
