The Panama plate is a small tectonic plate that exists between two actively spreading ridges and moves relatively independently of its surrounding plates. [1] The Panama plate is located between the Cocos plate and the Nazca plate to the south and the Caribbean plate to the north.
The geology of Costa Rica is part of the Panama Microplate, which is slowly moving north relative to the stable Caribbean Plate. [1] [2]In the late Cretaceous, an oceanic trench or backarc system formed in connection with a subduction zone, situated where the Isthmus of Panama is now located.
The Cocos and Nazca plates formed in the Miocene.The Panama microplate is made of oceanic crust basalt, similar to the basalt plateau at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea.The isthmus of Panama formed due to convergent tectonics of the eastern Pacific subduction zone, which created a magmatic arc extending from southern North America.
Sangihe plate – Microplate within eastern Indonesia; Okinawa plate – Minor tectonic plate from the northern end of Taiwan to the southern tip of Kyūshū; Pelso plate – Small tectonic unit in the Pannonian Basin in Europe; Timor plate – Microplate in Southeast Asia carrying the island of Timor and surrounding islands

The eastern boundary is a transform fault, the Panama fracture zone. The southern boundary is a mid-oceanic ridge, the Cocos–Nazca spreading centre. [3] The western boundary is another mid-ocean ridge, the East Pacific Rise. A hotspot under the Galápagos Islands lies along the Galápagos Rise. (see Galápagos hotspot and Galápagos microplate)
