The Puyehue volcano is located on the South American tectonic plate. This plate is part of the larger Nazca Plate, which is subducting beneath the South American Plate along the Peru-Chile Trench. The volcanic activity in the region is a result of the subduction process, where the Nazca Plate is being forced beneath the South American Plate, leading to the melting of mantle rock and the formation of magma that fuels volcanic eruptions like those of the Puyehue volcano.
