Answer:

Atlantic and the pacific.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The Pacific plate is known as the shrinking plate and is moving at a speed of about 7-11 cm in a year, in the northwestwards due to the spreading or the opening up of the Atlantic plates due to the mid-oceanic ridge and in the S-shaped patterns of the ocean between western Europe and eastern America.
