Which two plates meet along the west coast of the usa?
The Pacific Plate, to the west of the fault, is moving in a northwest direction while the North American Plate to the east is moving toward the southwest, but relatively southeast under the influence of plate tectonics. The rate of slippage averages about a year across California.

The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault that extends roughly 1,200 kilometers (750 mi) through California.[1] It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate,
San Andreas Fault
The San Andreas Fault in California is an active transform boundary. The Pacific Plate (carrying the city of Los Angeles) is moving northwards with respect to the North American Plate.
List of tectonic plate interactions
The Pacific Plate and the North American Plate are the two plates that meet along the West Coast of the United States. The San Andraes Fault forms the tectonic boundary between these two plates. The Pacific Plate is to the west of the San Andraes Fault, while the North American Plate is to the east of the San Andraes Fault. The San Andreas Fault is an active transform boundary; therefore, the Pacific Plate, carrying the city of Los Angeles, is moving northwards with respect to the North American Plate.
