Continental crust.
What type of plate boundary occurs between the Nazca and South American Plate?

What type of crust is found on the nazca plate?
It forms a convergent boundary with the South American Plate, divergent.
What is slab push give one example of a slab push structure?
A slab push is a term given to tectonic plates that cause pressure from a down-dip motion. An example of this type of plate structure is where the Nazca plate and the South American plate meet near Peru.
Describe what happens in subduction?
In subduction, one tectonic plate moves under another. The most explosive volcanoes erupt in the subduction zone. This type of tectonic is happening in several places around the world, such as Chile; the Nazca plate is slipping under the South American plate. This is also happening in Washington, the Juan de Fuca plate is slipping under the Morth American plate, which is why Mount Saint Helens was formed. Subduction has also occured in Alaska, Mt. Fugi Japan, Krakatua Indonesia, and Mt. Etna Italy.
