Near the Chilean coast, increased deep-sea trench formation indicates expansion?

💡 Explanation

Andean mountain building arises from subduction because compression at the plate boundary causes crustal thickening and uplift via orogeny within the continental crust; therefore mountain formation accelerates, rather than oceanic crust generation, sedimentation, or plate density changes.

• Which consequence results from extensive leaching in humid rainforest soils?
• Which effect results when seasonal cave flooding mobilizes sediments?
• Which risk increases when constructing a multi-story building foundation on unconsolidated alluvial soil near seismic fault lines?
• Which mechanism creates increased salinity near desert stream outflows?
• Which deformation results when descending oceanic lithosphere undergoes dehydration?
• Which deposition pattern emerges when stream confinement suddenly ends?
