∙ 10y agoThe Nazca plate is a plate, not a plate boundary. It forms a convergent boundary with the South American Plate, divergent boundaries with the Pacific and Cocos plates, and a divergent/tansform boundary with the Antarctic Plate.

What body type is the Pacific plate and the Nazca Platew What boundary type is the Pacific plate and the Nazca plate?
The Nazca plate shares both convergent and divergent boundaries. The Pacific plate has both a transform boundary and divergent boundary
What is the type of plate boundary for Galeras?
nazca
What type of tectonic plate boundary is found off the coast of Chile where the magnitude 8.8 earthquake occurred in February 2010?
This earthquake occurred at a convergent boundary - In this region the Nazca and South American plates are converging at a rate of approximately 80mm / year. The dense oceanic crust of the Nazca plate is being forced under or subducted beneath the less dense continental crust of the South American Plate. Please see the related question for further information.
What kind of fault is Chile located on?
Chile is located near a special type of thrust fault known as a convergent boundary. Chile is situated on the western coast of the continent of South America, this is the boundary between two tectonic plates, the Nazca plate (which is an oceanic plate) and the South American plate (a continental crustal plate). In this region the Nazca and South American plates are converging at a rate of approximately 80mm / year. The dense oceanic crust of the Nazca plate is being forced under or subducted beneath the less dense continental crust of the South American Plate.

What type of boundary is found off the coast of Chile where the 8.8 earthquake occurred?
A transform boundary with the South American and Nazca Plate.
What type of plate boundary is mount villarrica on?
Pacific will definitely be involved, but it could rest on a Nazca plate.
