Peru and Chile are part of South America, which sits on the South American tectonic plate. The Nazca plate is moving toward the South American plate.

• New continent formation

• Poor fishing conditions

• Deep ocean trench

• severe tropical storms

You try, you fail

you try, you fail

you try, you fail

It's OK if you fail as long as you keep doing this step in the engineering design process...

• imagine

• improve

• quit

• create
