    Peru lies above the convergent plate boundary where the Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, along the line of the Peru–Chile Trench.In northern Peru the rate of convergence between the plates is about 70 mm/yr. Almost all of the seismicity that affects western South America is a result of this ongoing subduction, either directly or indirectly.
