Chile is next to the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate. These plates are what caused the 1960 earthquake.
Chile is located at a boundary between two tectonic plates.
The earthquake in Chile was caused by the Nazca Plate, which is an oceanic tectonic plate, moving beneath the South American Plate, which is a continental plate. The convergence of these two plates resulted in the earthquake.
The Chile earthquake in 1960 was caused by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate along the Peru-Chile Trench. This subduction zone is known for generating large and powerful earthquakes due to the interaction between these two tectonic plates.
Chile lies on the western edge of the South American plate, close to where it meets the Nazca and Antarctic plates.
The plates that collide in Haiti are the Caribbean Plate and the North American Plate. In Chile, the collision is between the South American Plate and the Nazca Plate. These interactions between tectonic plates result in frequent seismic activity in both regions.

Peru, Bolivia and Argentina all share borders with Chile.

Nazca and the South American. there isn't a third
because the techtonic plates move a lot over there its kinda wierd
