Step 1

Ans.

A)The east side of the North American Plate rides the Eurasian Plate and African Plate. This is the Mid-Atlantic Edge where disparate structural plates pull separated from one another.

B)The northern limit with the North American Plate is a change or strike-slip limit which runs from the boundary area of Belize, Guatemala (Motagua Shortcoming), and Honduras in Focal America, toward the east through the Cayman box along the Swan Islands Change Shortcoming.

C)The Pacific Plate is the maritime plate underneath the Pacific Sea. The Pacific Plate frames a change limit with the North American Plate that makes the San Andreas Shortcoming.

D)The North American Plate frames a dissimilar limit with the Eurasian Plate and a change limit with the Pacific Plate along the shore of California.
