Earthquakes and volcanoes are prevalent in the Andes due to the tectonic activity associated with the Nazca and South American plates converging along the western edge of South America. This subduction zone creates intense geological stress, leading to frequent seismic activity and volcanic eruptions. Additionally, the Andes is home to numerous active volcanoes, which pose threats to nearby communities through eruptions, ash fall, and lahars. The region’s rugged terrain and high population density further increase the vulnerability of affected populations to these natural disasters.
