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.

Globalization has affected developed countries by
sasho [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

Globalization compels businesses to adapt to different strategies based on new ideological trends that try to balance the rights and interests of both the individual and the community as a whole. This change enables businesses to compete worldwide and also signifies a dramatic change for business leaders, labor, and management by legitimately accepting the participation of workers and the government in developing and implementing company policies and strategies.pecifically, it brings the reorganization of production, international trade, and the integration of financial markets. This affects capitalist economic and social relations, via multilateralism and microeconomic phenomena, such as business competitiveness, at the global level. The transformation of production systems affects the class structure, the labor process, the application of technology, and the structure and organization of capital. Globalization is now seen as marginalizing the less educated and low-skilled workers. Business expansion will no longer automatically imply increased employment. Additionally, it can cause a high remuneration of capital, due to its higher mobility compared to labor.
