What bouandry is between nazca plate adn south America plate?
The boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate is a convergent boundary, where the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate. This interaction results in significant geological activity, including the formation of the Andes mountain range and frequent earthquakes. The subduction process also leads to volcanic activity along the western edge of South America.
Can you assume that every mountain located along the edge of a continent is a volcano why or why not?
No. Most mountains along the edge of a continent are the result of the crust being compressed and thrust upward by converging plates. Volcanoes can occur in these locations as well, but they will account for a minority of the mountains.

What would be the best explanation for the existence of the andes mountains along the west coast of south america?
The Andes Mountains formed because two tectonic plates (a tectonic plate is a piece of the Earth's crust), the Nazca Plate and the Antarctic Plate, pushed into the western edge of South America. This compressed the western edge of the South American plate, and folded it, creating the Andes Mountains. A few of the mountains were formed by volcanic activity. which is also the result of the collision between this plates.
