This animation explores three major mechanisms for earthquakes in South America due to the interaction of the Nazca and South American plates. Western South America is a region of high earthquake hazard because of:
• Tsunami-generating megathrust earthquakes on the Nazca –South America plate boundary,
• Major earthquakes within the subducting plate beneath populated coastal towns, and
• Major earthquakes on faults within the continental crust.
