The Andes Mountains not only extend along most of chile, they also touch six other countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The highest peak in the mountain range is Aconcagua, which is 22,840 feet above sea level. The Andes were formed from subduction of the Nazca plate under the South American plate. Results of the plates still moving are many earthquakes and active volcanoes (Wikipedia).
