Andes
The Andes ( ), Andes Mountains or Andean Mountain Range (; ) are the List of longest mountain chains on Earth, longest continental mountain range in the world, forming a continuous highland along the western edge of South America. The range is long and wide (widest between 18th parallel south, 18°S and 20th parallel south, 20°S latitude) and has an average height of about . The Andes extend from south to north through seven South American countries: Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela. Along their length, the Andes are split into several ranges, separated by intermediate depression (geology), depressions. The Andes are the location of several high plateaus—some of which host major cities such as Quito, Bogotá, Cali, Arequipa, Medellín, Bucaramanga, Sucre, Mérida, Mérida, Mérida, El Alto, and La Paz. The Altiplano, Altiplano Plateau is the world's second highest after the Tibetan Plateau. These ranges are in turn grouped into three majo ...

List Of Mountains In The Andes
A sortable list of mountains above 4,000 metres in the South American Andes. Considerations The list is an incomplete list of mountains in the Andes. There are many named and unnamed peaks in the Andes that are currently not included in this list. The dividing line between a mountain with multiple peaks and separate mountains is not always clear (see Highest unclimbed mountain). The table below lists the summits with at least 400m prominence. List There are one hundred 6000m peaks in the Andes and nearly 900 peaks over 5000 m. {, {, class="wikitable sortable" border="0" align="top" class="sortable wikitable" style="background:#ffffff" , + align="center" style="background:Sienna; color:white" , Mountains of the Andes ! style="background:Linen; color:Black" width="60px" , Elevation ! style="background:Linen; color:Black" width="200px" , Name ! style="background:Linen; color:Black" width="200px" , Range ! style="background:Linen; color:Black" width="200px" , Coordinates ! style= ...

Mountains Of Arica Y Parinacota Region
A mountain is an elevated portion of the Earth's crust, generally with steep sides that show significant exposed bedrock. Although definitions vary, a mountain may differ from a plateau in having a limited summit area, and is usually higher than a hill, typically rising at least above the surrounding land. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in mountain ranges. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces, erosion, or volcanism, which act on time scales of up to tens of millions of years. Once mountain building ceases, mountains are slowly leveled through the action of weathering, through slumping and other forms of mass wasting, as well as through erosion by rivers and glaciers. High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level at similar latitude. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain and climate, mountains t ...
