The North American plate interacts with different plate boundaries such as the divergent boundary with the Eurasian plate along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the transform boundary with the Pacific plate along the San Andreas Fault in California, and the convergent boundary with the Pacific plate along the Aleutian Islands in Alaska.
To the north of the North American Plate is the Eurasian plate and to the south is the African Plate.
Canada, Alaska, The continental United States, parts of Russia, Greenland, part of Iceland, part of the Atlantic Ocean, and a number of islands.
The Eurasian plate is primarily involved in three types of plate boundaries: convergent boundaries where it collides with other plates, such as the Indian Plate and African Plate; divergent boundaries where it moves away from other plates, such as the North American Plate; and transform boundaries where it slides past other plates, such as the Pacific Plate.
The North American plate primarily slides past neighboring plates, such as the Pacific plate, along transform boundaries. However, the North American plate also interacts with other plates through convergent boundaries, where it collides with the Pacific plate along the western coast of North America.
California is located on the plate boundaries for the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate.
The North American Plate is neither growing nor shrinking. It is a tectonic plate that is constantly moving due to the forces of plate tectonics, which include both divergence and convergence along its boundaries.
The Southern part of California is on the Pacific plate and the Northern part of California is on the North American plate.
