The Andes mountain range forms near a subduction zone where the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate. This subduction process has resulted in the uplift of the Andes mountains over millions of years.
It is not along an ocean coastline. There are no volcanoes.
When a range of mountains is tens to hundreds of kilometers in length and width, located near an active tectonic plate boundary or coast, it is called a mountain belt or mountain range.

Trenches and volcanic arcs are two major geologic features produced near a plate boundary where subduction occurs. Trenches are deep oceanic depressions where one tectonic plate is being forced beneath another, while volcanic arcs are chains of volcanoes formed above the subduction zone due to melting of the descending plate.
Eyjafjallajökull translates to "Island Mountain Glacier" in Icelandic, named for the volcano's location near the small glacier-capped Eyjafjöll mountain range.
The Andes mountain range in South America is an example of a mountain range that forms near a subduction zone. The subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate has contributed to the uplift and formation of the Andes.
