That's only because the Caribbean tectonic plate is incuded with the North American plate. Only fair, as South America gets the Scotia and (I believe) Nazca plates. Trinidad and Tobago are on the Caribbean plate, despite being off the Venezuelian coast. (As to why the mysterious "they" group the secondary tectonic plates with the primary ones as they do? It's a conspiracy! )
