Cerro Aconcagua (6962 m), in western Argentina, is the highest mountain outside Asia and the tallest in the Americas. It lies within the accretionary Andean Orogen and formed through non-collisional coupling between the downgoing Nasca oceanic plate and continental lithosphere of the South American plate.
