The North American plate is diverging with the South American plate. The Nazca plate and the North American plate are at a transform boundary. The Nazca plate is converging with the South American plate. The North American plate and the South American plate are at a transform boundary.

Answer 1

The Nazca plate is converging with the South American plate.

Explanation:

The Andes Mountains are formed as a result of the convergent of the Nazca plate and the South American plate.

This mountain range typifies the geology and geography of the South American continent.

• Along this convergent margin, one plate subducts beneath the other.
• The oceanic plate due to its density goes into the mantle.
• The causes the continent riding to obduct and be forced.
• With rising magmatic bodies beneath, the continent further pushes up to form the Andes ranges.
