Andes (9°42'10.21"S 76°56'27.81"W)
Sorry I didn’t write yesterday I took
a long nap and then I did a little shopping. Today is my last day here then I
have one last stop before I arrive home.
The Andes are located on the Nazca
plate and run along the west coast of South America. The Nazca plate is a
divergent boundary but is specifically called a subduction boundary. Subduction
is when two plates converge together the less dense plate drops under the other
plate. A trench (deep sea trench) is a feature of a subduction boundary. In
this case it is the Nazca plate subducted underneath the South American plate.
After the two plates join, the trench comes along with a chain of volcanoes
over the overriding plate.
I have to be at the airport in
about an hour and a half, so I’ll see you in the last country.
I really like how you created a back story to your writing, and your science was very clear to understand. You also chose a very cool picture to go along with your writing and your design is very cool! NS
