[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Ecuador is part of a Pacific Ring of volcanoes named "Ring of Fire" being an Andean country is part of that ring and all its major peaks in the Andes mountains are of volcanic origins. The Andes mountains began to form at the end of the Mesozoic Era and are the result of 2 major colliding tectonic plates. The lighter Nazca plate in the Pacific ocean converges under the heavier American Plate. This process called subduction, folded over millions of years. The type of volcanoes found are high and steep-sided stratovolcanoes, which are known to have sudden and violent eruptions with longer periods of dormancy.

The Andes are a relatively young mountain range and all major peaks in Ecuador are of volcanic origin. Ecuador boasts of 10 peaks over 5000m with Chimborazo, the highest one at 6310m. The Ecuadorian Andes are divided in the Eastern and Western Cordilleras, which run close to each other and are separated by valleys of no more than 15km across. The two ranges are mostly smooth and grass covered with volcanic cones rising separately out of them and standing apart from each other, all by themselves
