My Trip to Chile!



Hello my name is Chad Weekly and I am a training to be a medical personnel! This is my biggest mission yet. As we speak we are flying over Chile! Directly above the spot where the Nazca plate and the South American plate collide with each

other. I was able to snap a quick picture with my camera out of the Plane window! The is just a BEAUTIFUL PICTURE of the ANDES MOUNTAINS!!! Volcanism can sure create magnificent mountains... Its crazy how things so dangerous can create some of the best things known to man! They say that these mountains were created by the Nazca plate and the South American plate colliding, causing magma to spew out the the earth creating the mountains! These mountains formed back in Not only are they great but they also stretch all the way across the coast of Chile! WHAT A SIGHT!
