Which tectonic plate is the puyehue volcano on?
The Puyehue Volcano is on the South America Plate near the Convergent boundary between the South America and Nazca Plates
What plate boundary is the west coast of south America?
Convergent
Are the two plates along the coast of South America probably a divergent boundary or a convergent boundary?
It is a convergent boundary The subduction of the pacific plate underneath the west coast of South America creates the uplift and volcanoes that is still producing the Andean mountain range. A divergent boundary would create a mid-ocean ridge, or somthing akin to the great rift valley in Africa.

What is the boundary of the Andes?
The type of boundary that the Andes mountains are, in South America, is a convergent plate boundary. This was formed from the collision of the South American plate boundary and the Nazca plate.
Is Salar de Uyuni formed on a convergent plate boundary?
Salar de Uyuni was formed from uplift and evaporation of a giant prehistoric lake, caused by the collision of the Nazca and South American Plates.
How was the Andes mountain range formed?
The Andes Mountains were formed through subduction of the oceanic plate underneath the South American plate.
Where is there a real world example of an oceanic to oceanic convergent boundary?
The western coast of South America is a very good example of an oceanic to continental convergent boundary where the Nazca plate is colliding (and being subducted beneath) the South American plate.
At what boundary is oceanic crust destroyed?
Oceanic crust is destroyed at a convergent boundary where subduction occurs. An example includes the boundary between the Nazca and South American plate on the west coast South America.
What type of plates collided to form the Andes Mountains on the west coast of South America?
The Andes were a result of the collision of the Nazca Plate & the South American Plate.
