Pacific plate (oceanic) and North America plate (continental)
The Pacific Ring of Fire is located around the Pacific Ocean. It starts at the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate, on the southwestern coast of Chile. It continues northwards along the western coast of South America to Central America, where the Cocos Plate is being subducted beneath the Caribbean Plate. It continues up the western coast of North America where the Pacific Plate and the Juan de Fuca Plate is being subducted beneath the North American Plate. Following the western coast of North America northwards, it swings westwards along the southern coast of Alaska (Aleutian Islands arc) and across the Bering Strait towards the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. It continues southwards along the eastern coast of Asia, where the Pacific Plate and the Philippines Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. Still southwards at Indonesia, the Indo-Australian Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate. Lastly, swinging eastwards into the Pacific Ocean and then southwards, along the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the Indo-Australian Plate, it finally ends in New Zealand.
the west coast is surrounded by the Pacific ocean which has an active margin tectonically. There is more volcanic activity due to the Pacific rim of fire. The East coast has the Atlantic ocean which has a passive margin thus not much tectonic activity. In the west coast, the Pacific plate subducts beneath the North American plate which causes faulting, folding, and wrinkling of the north american continental crust hence the earthquakes.
yes it bring flood to the pacific coast.
The major mountain ranges along the Pacific coastline of North America include the Coast Ranges in California, the Cascade Range from British Columbia to Northern California, and the Sierra Nevada in California. Further south in Mexico, the Sierra Madre Occidental and Sierra Madre Oriental run parallel to the Pacific coast.

in 1769, Junipero Serra founded missions along the pacific coast.

South American Pacific coast.
The Continental Divide in South America runs along the west coast, spanning from the southern tip of the continent in Chile and continuing north through countries like Peru and Ecuador. This natural geological feature separates the flow of water between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.
