Answer 1

The Andes in western South America are an example of a landform that arises from the **collision of two continental plates**. Specifically, the Andes have formed as a result of the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate. This tectonic activity causes the uplift and formation of mountain ranges characteristic of the Andes.
