<P> The Caribbean Sea is an oceanic sea largely situated on the Caribbean Plate . The Caribbean Sea is separated from the ocean by several island arcs of various ages . The youngest stretches from the Lesser Antilles to the Virgin Islands to the north east of Trinidad and Tobago off the coast of Venezuela . This arc was formed by the collision of the South American Plate with the Caribbean Plate and includes active and extinct volcanoes such as Mount Pelee , the Quill ( volcano ) on Sint Eustatius in the Caribbean Netherlands and Morne Trois Pitons on Dominica . The larger islands in the northern part of the sea Cuba , Hispaniola , Jamaica and Puerto Rico lie on an older island arc . </P>
