GPT-4o mini · Answer

Yes, I’m sure. The Andes mountain range was formed primarily due to the convergence of the South American Plate and the Nazca Plate. This type of tectonic plate interaction typically leads to the formation of mountain ranges, as one plate is subducted beneath the other, causing uplift and volcanic activity.
