Interesting facts[edit]

there needs to be interesting facts about the plate: such as the speeds of each plate and in which direction they travel.

Plate motion[edit]

The source providen said North American is generally mving west only. I don't see it say mivement of southwest. Could somebody mind to check the plate motion section of the article?--69.229.39.33 (talk) 00:00, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if this one is useful.--69.229.39.33 (talk) 00:06, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alleged Okhotsk Plate[edit]

Is the so-called Okhotsk plate for real? Or does it represent the actual consensus of geologists? Someone with more expertise than I should clear up the confusion.JeffTracy (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:10, 8 April 2011 (UTC).[reply]

North American Tectonic Plate[edit]

My first big earthquake happened when I was 23 months old; well, not that BIG, an M7.3. I'm now 74 years old and is time that I started talking and writing about it. But, I'll need lots of other Wikipedia editors and writers to help me cover the topics consistently, thoroughly and well. Among many other skills I've been a British Columbia Licenced Free Miner (Prospector) most all of my life. Living my formative years in Minto 'City' (Gold) Mine in the Bridge River Valley, British Columbia "The Gold Valley" [similar to the gold fields of northern California; placer and seven hardrock mines have come and gone in the last 150+ years] I was literally playing and raised in the stuff; and, also staked claims to my own stuff.

My perspective is 'from the ground up", so I speak and so I write. After seventy years of learning, reading and studying most everything I've come to a BIG conclusion. For the most part, everybody has it all UPSIDE DOWN, AND BACKWARDS. MOST EVERYBODY. There all afraid, they know the BIG ONE is coming, and hardly anyone knows what to do about it.

So I've been knitting some of my rudimentary explanations of Cascadia in a number of Websites (Blogs). Several years ago I found it frustrating to hyperlink to some websites; North Vancouver City Library, North Vancouver District Library, and the West Vancouver Memorial Library, where I had hyperlinked right into their 'stacks', for instance, would change the underlying URLs without notification.

Links for Cascadia; let's try to link some of this together, somehow: Lead Author: Stan G. Webb - In Retirement© https://stangwebb.blogspot.com/ 1.
