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:
B. The title of a map can identify the location it shows.
When presenting a map, it is always important to put the location where the mapping process covers. This is why one can easily infer the locational attribute on a map from the title given to a map. For example, on a geologic map, the title can be "Geological field mapping of BoreCounty and environs", from the title, we can say the location of the mapping was in BoreCounty.
C. A legend typically explains the area a map shows.
Legends or keys are used to make sense of a map. The legend can be drawn for different map features. A user can easily get a succint interpretation of the map by looking through the legend and applying the symbols and codes of the legend to the map piece. Therefore, legends in most part explains the map area.
D. Colors and symbols are named in the map’s key.
This is true. For any color or symbol used on the map, the key presents and names them. Rivers, rail tracks, roads amongst others appears on a map and they are duly and properly named.
I’m not sure exactly what you’re looking for, but the US spent $15m dollars and gained 54% of Mexico’s pre-1836 territory. There’s a nice article on Wikipedia called ‘Mexican Cession’ that seems helpful. Hope this is helpful :)
When a product is elastic, a change in price quickly results in a change in the quantity demanded. When a good is inelastic, there is little change in the quantity of demand even with the change of the good's price. ...
