The American Plate and the Cocos Plate are convergent tectonic plates. The Cocos Plate is being subducted beneath the North American Plate along the Middle America Trench, leading to volcanic activity in the region, such as in Central America. This convergence can also cause earthquakes due to the intense geological interactions at their boundary.
