What is the trench next to the Andes?
It is called the Peru-Chile Trench. It reaches depths of more than 24,000 ft.
Tell me about the Peru-Chile trench on the West coast of South America?
it is so dumb
What is the name of the mountain range that lies near a trench?
The Andes mountain range is located near the Peru-Chile Trench in South America.
Why does Chile experience earthquakes?
Chile is located on a tectonic plate boundery and a subduction zone called the Peru-Chile trench. Very violent earthquakes happen at subduction zones.
What is the cause of the Peru Chile Trench and the Andes Mountains?
The subduction of the Nazca plate beneath the South American plate.
What is the geological relationship of the Peru-Chile trench to the West coast of South America?
The trench would represent the divide between the Nazca and South American tectonic plates.
What kind of plate boundary forms a mountain rainge and a deep ocean trench like the Andes Mountain Range and Peru-Chile trench?
oceanic-continental convergence
How oceanic trench form?
no that's wrong. they are formed when one lithospheric plate meets another and the denser plate subducts into the asthenosphere. the crust melts in the subduction zone and rises to form active volcanoes. The Andes in Peru and Chile formed this way
What fault was the southern Chile earthquake 1960?
The 1960 southern Chile earthquake occurred due to the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate along the Peru-Chile Trench. This subduction zone is part of the larger Pacific Ring of Fire where tectonic plates meet and seismic activity is common.
What boundary is Peru-Chile Trench and Andes Mountains?
The Trench and Andes are on the boundaries of the Nazca and South American Plates. Both of those landforms are the result of a subducting Nazca Plate.
What boundary is Peru Chile Trench and Andes Mountains?
The Trench and Andes are on the boundaries of the Nazca and South American Plates. Both of those landforms are the result of a subducting Nazca Plate.
Where are two places that subduction zones are formed?
Subduction zones are formed where tectonic plates converge, typically at deep-ocean trenches such as the Peru-Chile Trench in South America and the Japan Trench in the western Pacific Ocean. At these locations, one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, leading to the formation of a subduction zone.
