It is bounded on the northwest by the East Pacific Rise , on the southwest by the Rivera Transform Fault , on the southeast by a deformation zone, and on the northeast by the Middle America Trench and another deformation zone. The Rivera Plate is believed to have separated from the Cocos Plate located to its southeast about 5 10 million years ago. The subduction of the Rivera Plate under the North American Plate in the Mid American Trench has been the cause of the strongest earthquakes in the history of Mexico, including the largest earthquake in Mexico during the 20th century which occurred on 1932 Jalisco earthquake June 3, 1932 in the state of Jalisco . The quake had a magnitude of 8.2 with a magnitude 7.8 aftershock, both of which caused widespread casualties and damage. On October 9, 1995, a 1995 Colima Jalisco earthquake magnitude 7.6 earthquake occurred beneath the Jalisco region and caused significant loss of life and property.

In a CTF workflow, a sheet of light sensitive film is imaged directly from a Raster image processor RIP . The film must then be developed immediately after wards. This film is then placed onto a printing plate, on the plate burner. Registration of the plate and film is controlled by a pin grid . After securing the plate and film to the grid, a glass cover is lowered upon the plate and film. The film and plate are placed into a vacuum on the plate burner to remove any pockets of air and ensure the film is in close contact with the surface of the printing plate. Once the vacuum is established, a high power 5 kW UV lamp also associated with the burner is turned on, which burns an image through the film and onto the plate.

The Tonga Plate is a small southwest Pacific tectonic plate or microplate. It is centered at approximately 19 S. latitude and 173 E. longitude. The plate is an elongated plate oriented NNE SSW and is a northward continuation of the Kermadec linear zone north of New Zealand. The plate is bounded on the east and north by the Pacific Plate , on the northwest by the Niuafo ou Plate Niuaf ou Microplate , on the west and south by the Indo Australian Plate . The Tonga plate is subducting the Pacific plate along the Tonga Trench . This subduction turns into a transform fault boundary north of Tonga. An active rift or spreading center separates the Tonga from the Australian plate and the Niuafo ou microplate to the west. The Tonga plate is seismically very active and is rotating clockwise.
