Earth's crust moves

In which direction is the earth's crust moving?
 
Tectonically, Central and South America are extremely active zones. The Nazca, Cocos, Caribbean and South American plates all influence each other with their movements. This area has for a long time been the target of geological research into the complicated patterns of change. The Leica GPS System 300 has contributed considerably to the results which have been attained.
