Tectonic Plates

You know that plate that's estimated to be below North America? I think it may emerge in some time and give the Atlantic a plate of its own.

Well it's an oceanic plate and stretches from beneath Ohio to the Juan de Fuca plate. Infact it is the Juan de Fuca plate and the Cocos plate.

There's no plate stretching from Ohio to the Juan de Fuca Plate. If there was a fault between these places then the North American Plate would be split in half.
