Tectonic Plate Boundary Type 2

We hopped on a long and exhausting plane ride to go find a convergent plate boundary.  It took us all the way to South America to the Nazca plate and the South American Plate.  The Nazca plate is being subducted by the South American Plate.  This makes them crash into each other and that is a convergent plate boundary.  This is a picture of the subduction:

This  photo above the first photo is a close up on what is happening:
