Explain why the area near nazca and south american plate boundary gets a lot of earthquakes

Hello There!!

Explanation:

Crustal earthquakes are caused by deformation and mountain building in the overriding South America plate and generate earthquakes as deep as approximately 50 km. Interplate earthquakes occur due to slip along the dipping interface between the Nazca and the South America plates.A subduction zone has been formed, thus an oceanic trench with it, where the Nazca plate subducts below the South American plate. An orogeny occurred, which resulted in the formation of the Andean mountain range in the along the western coastline of South America.

hope this helps,have a great day!!

i would expect light rain in pittsburgh throughout the following 24 to 48 hours. the lower/falling weights in urban areas toward the west demonstrate that a low weight framework is moving from west to east toward pittsburgh. low weight frameworks are ordinarily connected with precipitation. the way that you don't see a major drop in temperature in the more western urban areas demonstrates the low weight framework is moving with a warm front, so just light rain would be normal. substantial downpours or progressively vicious climate is just typically connected with chilly fronts, where the warm air is pushed up and over a cool front quickly. this quickly rising air (convection) is what gives you heavier torrential downpours, and other conceivably serious weather conditions.
