The boundary between the Pacific and North American plates is primarily a transform boundary, characterized by lateral sliding motion. This is most notably exemplified by the San Andreas Fault in California, where the two plates grind past each other, leading to significant seismic activity. Additionally, the boundary includes a complex interaction of geological features, such as ridges and subduction zones, contributing to the region's tectonic dynamics. These interactions result in earthquakes and other geological phenomena.

What type of plate boundary is San Francisco on?
San Francisco lies on the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, known as the San Andreas Fault. This boundary is a transform plate boundary, where the plates slide horizontally past each other.

What type of plate boundary is at the meeting of the Philippines and Pacific plates?
The boundary between the Philippines and Pacific plates is a convergent boundary, specifically a subduction zone where the denser oceanic Philippines Plate is being pushed beneath the lighter Pacific Plate. This subduction process is responsible for the formation of the Philippine Trench and associated volcanic activity in the region.

Its epicenter was located on the convergent boundary between the Pacific and Cocos tectonic plates.
