A convergent plate boundary.
The Peru-Chile Trench is a convergent plate boundary, where the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate. This subduction zone is associated with frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity.

The subduction of the Nazca plate beneath the South American plate.
The Nazca Plate is a tectonic plate beneath the Pacific Ocean and does not have people living on it. It is located off the western coast of South America and is known for its seismic activity rather than human habitation.
The type of plate boundary along the Peru-Chili trench is the convergent type which is acting between the Nazca plate and the South American plate Md. Rafiqul Islam, PhD Assistant Professor Dept. of Petroleum & Mining Engineering Shahjalal University of Science & Technology Sylhet-3114, Bangladesh
The plate located between the Pacific and South American plates is called the Nazca Plate. It is known for its subduction beneath the South American Plate along the Peru-Chile Trench.
The Nazca Plate is more dense than the South American Plate. This density difference is one of the reasons why the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate along the Peru-Chile Trench.
Peru Chili Trench
The Nazca Plate is a small tectonic plate located off the west coast of South America. It is mostly subducting beneath the South American Plate along the Peru-Chile Trench.
