Answer 1

Correct Answer is North West

Step-by-step explanation:

About 250 million Years Ago the continents were all in different places and joined together in the supercontinent called Pangea. In that time, North America was originally located Southeast from its current location, located near the tropics, colliding with Europe and Africa.

This data is supported by the tropical fossils found in current northern regions like North Dakota and Greenland. About 180 Million Years Ago Pangea started separating due to tectonic plates movement and 50 million years ago the world was arranged as we know it today.

Currently, North America Rests over the North America Tectonic Plate, which is moving West at about 15–25 mm (0.59–0.98 in) per year.

Answer 2

The direction of Northwest which is then the answer. Plate tectonics is a theory that describes large scale motion of the 7 large plates and also the movements of a larger number of the smaller plates of Earth's lithosphere and began 3-3.5 billion years ago.
