WOW! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!

WOW that was amazing! After our flight landed we started towards our first mission sight on the Andes Mountains when we heard that there was a massive earthquake in the middle of the Pacific Ocean! Since the Nazca plate is an oceanic plate so it sub-ducted underneath the thicker South American plate! The scientists in Chile say that the top of the Andes Mountains have raised up to 16,000 ft from the previous 13,000 ft! The world is an amazing place isn't it?!
