    This map shows earthquake and tectonic data for North America. It displays the locations of earthquakes over magnitude 6.0 from 1900 to 2012, depth contours of subducting slabs at 20 km intervals from 0 to 120 km and 40 km intervals from 160 to 360 km, locations of active volcanoes with labels for types of tectonic settings, and boundaries between the North American, Pacific, and Cocos plates. Key tectonic features are also labeled, including the Gulf of California, Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of Honduras, and Middle America Trench.
