Chile boasts the highest number of active volcanos among all South American countries. In fact, most of its main winegrowing regions feature soils composed of volcanic material originating from eruptions that occurred millions of years ago. The country is narrow, defined by two distinct geological features—the Coastal and Andes mountain ranges that both run from north to south along the western and eastern edges, respectively. Their origin and that of the many volcanos that exist in Chile is due to the subduction of the denser Nazca Plate underneath the South American Plate.
