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 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

A convergent plate boundary creates a deep ocean trench along the edge of a continent. In this boundary type, an oceanic plate is forced beneath a continental plate, leading to the formation of the trench due to subduction.
At a convergent boundary between oceanic and continental crust where subduction is occurring.
The Mariana Trench is a convergent boundary, specifically a subduction zone, where the Pacific Plate is being subducted beneath the Mariana Plate. This results in the trench being the deepest part of Earth's ocean.
The Mariana Trench is a convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates are colliding and one plate is forced beneath the other.
Mid-Atlantic Trench
The boundary between the Indo-Australian Plate and the Pacific Plate is mainly a divergent boundary in the region of the East Pacific Rise and a transform boundary along the Tonga Trench and the Alpine Fault in New Zealand. Additionally, there are some regions of convergence near New Zealand and the New Hebrides Trench.
Trenches such as the Peru-Chile trench are found at destructive (also known as convergent) subductive plate margins where the denser oceanic plate is being subducted beneath the lighter continental plate. Trenches are common at subduction zones.
A convergent plate boundary causes a trench to form. This occurs when two tectonic plates collide, with one plate sinking beneath the other due to its greater density. This process creates a deep trench in the Earth's crust.
The Mariana Trench was formed along a convergent boundary where two tectonic plates are colliding. More specifically, it was created by the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the smaller Mariana Plate in a process known as plate tectonics.
