Hello, everyone!

I would like to share some important information about the trip that I took a moth ago, to a place called Nazca plate, in Peru.

The Nazca Plate is an oceanic tectonic plate in the eastern Pacific Ocean basin off the west coast of South America. The ongoing subduction, along the Peru-Chile Trench is greatly responsible for the Andean orogeny. The Nazca Plate is bounded on the west by the Pacific Plate and to the south by the Antartic Plate through the East Pacific Rise and the Chile Rise. Its movement has created some volcanic islands, as well as east-west running seamount chains that subduct under South America. It is a relatively young plate both in terms of the age of its rocks and its existence as an independent plate having been formed from the break-up of the Farallon Plate about 23 million years ago.
