However volcanism in Chile as well as in other parts of the world is also associated with several natural hazards such as lahars, earthquakes, pyroclastic flows, toxic gases and ash . Continental Chile has a high concentration of active volcanoes due to its location along the Peru--Chile Trench, a subduction zone where the Nazca and Antarctic Plates are driven beneath the South American Plate . Chile has been subject to volcanism since at least late Paleozoic when subduction along the western margin of South America began . Easter Island, Juan Fernández Islands and other oceanic islands of Chile are extinct volcanoes created by hotspots . Chile has about 500 volcanoes considered active, 60 of which have had recorded eruptions in the last 450 years .
