Answer:
The plate boundary is a convergent one where a subduction zone is created.
Explanation:
The Andes are the longest and highest mountain chain in South America, and among the largest ones in the world as well. It is a mountain chain created because of the collision between two tectonic plates and the process is still not over, so the Andes are still growing in size and elevation.
The plates that collide are the Nazca Plate (not the Pacific as it is stated in the question) and the South American plate. The Nazca Plate is a smaller plate and it is mostly made up of oceanic crust, while the South American plate is much larger and is mostly made up of continental crust. The lower and denser Nazca plate moves below the South American plate, thus it subducts, and as it does so, the crust near the plate boundary is pushed up, creating a mountain chain, in this case, that being the Andes.

Explanation:
In physics, we know that waves usually change direction when are refracted or when they penetrate layers with different densities.
Therefore, when a seismic wave penetrates penetrates the boundary of the earth's interior, part of it will be sent back and part will be transmitted into the medium as refraction occurs. When we record the reflected and refracted ray, it enables the calculation of the position of major boundaries in the Earth's interior. This also helps in providing information about the solid & liquid character as well physical properties of the various layers in the medium.

Explanation:
the rock is formed though sedimentation i think
No. Canada is a part of North America. Therefore, that question is no. Something that is a part of something bigger, cannot be bigger than the thing itself.
