What are the names od the plates that are involved in the collision of the coast of Washington?
Along the entire west cost is the Pacific Plate (Ocean) and the North American Plate (Land) however along Washington and Southwestern Canada is the Juan De Fuca Plate. So a collision on the coast of Washington would be between the Juan De Fuca Plate and North American Plate

Why does the west coast of the US experience volcanic activity and earthquakes while the east coast does not?
The west coast of the US lies along the Pacific Ring of Fire, where several tectonic plates meet. This intense tectonic activity results in volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. In contrast, the east coast is located further away from these tectonic plate boundaries, leading to fewer volcanic and seismic events.
Are there volcanoes along the west coast of South America?
Off the west coast of South America is a subduction zone, where several oceanic plates are sliding under the continental South American Plate. As these plates move into the mantle, they bring seawater and other materials with them that alter the chemistry of the hot mantle rocks, allowing them to partially melt. This molten rock, called magma, rises through the crust, erupting to form volcanoes.

What two plates are colliding each other in California?
The San Andreas fault forms a continuous narrow break in the Earth's crust that extends from northern California southward to Cajon Pass near San Bernardino. Southeastward from Cajon Pass several branching faults, including the San Jacinto and Banning faults, share the movement of the crustal plates. In this stretch of the fault zone, the name "San Andreas" generally is applied to the northeastern most branch.

The west side is where the Juan de Fuca plate and the North American plate meet.
Why are there many earthquakes along the west coast of south America?
