Peru Chili Trench
Do tsunamis happen in Peru?
Over the past 400 years, Peru has been the site of several very destructive and deadly tsunamis. The Peru-Chile Trench is the site of subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate. As with the other subduction zones of the world, the extreme compressive forces on the landward side of the trench produce reverse faults in the crust of the over-riding plate. During earthquakes, the motion along the fault cause huge portions of the sea floor to be uplifted, which causes tsunamis to be formed.
The Nazca Plate is currently going through a process of subduction while colliding with the South American Plate because?
The Nazca Plate is an oceanic tectonic plate bordering the South American Plate. These plates are subducting along the Peru-Chile Trench and causing most of the Andean geography we see today as the Nazca Plate is being forced beneath the South American plate.
