The North American plate is both oceanic and continental an contains
Canada
, the
United States
, the countries of
Central America
,
Greenland
and the far eastern regions of
Russia
. Its eastern boundary is the
Mid-Atlantic Ridge
, a spreading center which causes a northwest movement causing an interaction with the
Pacific
,
Juan de Fuca
and
Cocos plate
s along its western margin. The mountain chains of western North America from the
Cascade Mountains
to the
Rocky Mountains
and the coastal ranges of
Alaska
, are produced by the collision of the North America Plate and the Pacific and Juan de Fuca plates. See
plate tectonics
