Answer:

The Earth’s lithosphere, which includes the crust and upper mantle, is made up of a series of pieces, or tectonic plates, that move slowly over time.

A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma (molten rock) rises from the Earth’s mantle to the surface, solidifying to create new oceanic crust. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Pacific Ring of Fire are two examples of divergent plate boundaries.

How does the plate boundary along the west coast of the United States change over time?
Tanzania [10]

The North American plate is moving towards the west-southwest at about 2.3 centimeters every year mediated by the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the spreading center, which gave rise to the Atlantic Ocean. The small Juan De Fuca plate, moving east-northeast at 4 centimeters every year, was once a component of much greater oceanic plates known as the Farallon plate.  

The Farallon plate used to comprise what is now the Cocos plate of Mexico and Central America, and the Juan de Fuca plate in the region from N. Vancouver Island to the Cape Mendicino California, and a big sea floor tract in between. However, the middle portion of the Old Farallon plate disappeared underneath North America, it was subducted underneath California leaving the San Andreas fault system behind as the contact between the Pacific plates and North America.  

The Juan De Fuca plate is still actively subducting underneath North America. Its movement is not smooth, however, rather sticky. The buildup of strain takes place until the fault dissociates and a few meters of Juan De Fuca get slid underneath North America in a big earthquake.
