Location Araucanía region of Chile, in Parque Nacional Nalcas. Latitude- 38.377°S. Longitude- 71.58°W. Caused by the subduction of the oceanic Nazca plate beneath the South American plate. Earthquake and seismic activity. https://feww.wordpress.com/2010/09/28/nazca-plate- subduction-probably-accelerating/ http://shleyfergeog2012.blogspot.com/

The Navidad Eruption Began on December 25, 1988 following weeks of seismic activity. Stombolian eruptions (the first in 100 years!). Gas emissions, Strombolian eruptions, magmatic degassing, lava flows, vent- clearing emissions. Ended on January 25, 1990. http://enlonquimay.com/2013/12/25/volcan-lonquimay-erupcion/

Hazards and Contributions Fatal gas emissions. Far-reaching ashfall impact. Loss of economically valuable livestock and forests. Seismic activity and ashfall- collapse of buildings and infrastructure. Volcano as a tourist attraction. http://flickrhivemind.net/Tags/lonquimay,volcan/Interesting
