<h2>Answer: Nazca plate</h2>

Explanation:

The Nazca plate is an oceanic tectonic plate that is found in the Pacific Ocean off the west coast of South America, specifically in front of the north and central coast of Chile and the entire coastline of Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. This plate is in constant motion, which causes it to sink under the South American (phenomenon known as subduction).

It is mainly because of this subduction process that this region has a lot of seismic activity. Another important aspect is that thanks to these movements, the Andes mountain range and the Peruvian-Chilean fossa originated.

Explanation:

When balanced forces act on an <em>object at rest</em>, the object will not move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal but opposite force. Neither you nor the wall will move. Forces that cause a change in the motion of an object are unbalanced forces.
