<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.

Answer:

$F'=2F$

Explanation:

The Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them:

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$
