It erupted because two tectonic plates met which causes an eruption !!!
The subduction of the Nazca plate beneath the South America plate.
Nazca
The Antarctic plate is the tectonic plate under the continent of Antarctica. It extends northward below the oceans to where it meets the Nazca, South American, African, Indo-Australian, and Scotia Plates and forms a divergent boundary along the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge.

The earthquake occurred at a convergent boundary between the Nazca and South American plates which are converging at a rate of approximately 80mm / year. The dense oceanic crust of the Nazca plate is being forced under or subducted beneath the less dense continental crust of the South American Plate.
