A convergent boundary. In the case of the Andes, the oceanic Nazca Plate and

part of the oceanic Antarctic Plate slide towards the continental South American Plate. Because the former are heavier, they subduct (dive) under the lighter South American Plate causing orogenesis (the Andes) and corresponding volcanism (e.g. the Lascar Volcano).

What plate is forming lascar volcano?

Lascar Volcano is located in the Andes mountain range in northern Chile and is primarily associated with the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate. This tectonic activity leads to the formation of volcanic features due to the melting of the subducted plate and the ascent of magma. Lascar is classified as a stratovolcano and is part of a volcanic arc formed by this subduction process.
