The Peru-Chile Trench, also known as the Atacama Trench, is a subduction zone where the Nazca Plate is being forced beneath the South American Plate. This geological process creates deep oceanic trenches and is responsible for significant tectonic activity, including earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the region. The trench plays a crucial role in shaping the landscape of western South America and influences the ecosystems both on land and in the ocean. Its formation is a result of millions of years of tectonic movement.

What is the maximum depth of the Peru -Chile trench?
The maximum depth of the Peru-Chile Trench, also known as the Atacama Trench, is approximately 8,065 meters (26,460 feet). It is located off the coast of Peru and Chile and is one of the deepest oceanic trenches in the world. This trench is formed by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate. Its significant depth contributes to the geological activity in the region, including earthquakes and volcanic activity.
