The trench is also a part of the Chile triple junction, an unusual junction that consists of a mid-oceanic ridge and the Chile Rise being subducted under the South American plate at the Peru–Chile Trench. Two seamount ridges within the Nazca plate enter the subduction zone along this trench: the Nazca Ridge and the Juan Fernández Ridge.

Dulcibella camanchaca is a species of amphipod crustacean discovered in the Atacama Trench, at depths of nearly 8,000 m (26,000 ft) in the South Pacific Ocean near Chile. [2] [3] Measuring approximately 4 cm (1.6 in) in length, this predatory amphipod is adapted to the extreme conditions of the hadal zone, making it one of the deepest-living predators identified to date.
A team of Chilean and American scientists ventured to a place where no human has ever gone before. And although it may sound like a space voyage straight out of a Star Trek episode, this real-life ...
The Peru–Chile Trench, also known as the Atacama Trench, is the primary tectonic feature off the west coast of South America. The Nazca plate is subducting to the east under the South American plate at 10 centimeters (3.9 in) per year. This continuous stick-slip movement results in two

The second type is the gallery or subterranean puquios which is tunneled beneath the earth to tap the water from an aquifer. The water-bearing aquifer ...
