Boundaries
Velocity
Key:
Transform Boundary
Convergent Boundary
Direction the Plate is Moving
The velocity is ~2.45 cm/yr. and it moves northwest. The other plates move ~7.55 and ~8.55 cm/yr (East and West plates) and ~1.15 and ~1.54 cm/ yr (North and South plates)
The plate is sliding against the North American Plate and the plate is colliding with three others. The plate is moving northwest at ~2.45 cm/yr.
Interaction with plates
The plate is sliding against the North American plate which creates a transform boundary and the other plates are colliding and creating convergent boundary's. All the plates sub duct underneath the Caribbean Plate.
