The NGS is proposing to take that into account with the new 2022 datum.  Right now, NAD83 holds the North American plate at a constant location, which of course, does not agree with precision GPS readings (sum-centimeter accuracy) which are geocentric.  Hence, the problem.

Florida moves 1.5 -2 centimeters west ward per year.  One of the most stable places in the world, tectonicly speaking.

Greetings!
     Australia is moving along to the north at about 3 inches per year.  In the last 20 years it has reportedly move about 20 feet.  All the GPS readings on the continent are reportedly off a bit.
