Andes


Andean mountain range is wide and running along the west coast of South America. Approximately 7000 km in length, width of 500 km and an average elevation of 4000 meters. Extend the series in seven countries: Argentina, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Chile, Colombia and Venezuela. It is said that the reason for naming the andes by this name due to the activity of one of the types of volcanoes absolute Ondezat in that region, which led to the formation of these mountains. andes mountain range is the highest outside of Asia, the highest peaks is the peak of Aconcagua, which rises 6959 meters above sea level. andes can not keep up with the Himalayas in height but the length - almost - twice the length of the Himalayas.

Andes can be divided into three natural regions: South, Central and North. The height of the southern andes less than 3000 m near the southern continent Party. If you push in the direction of north, peaks become higher. The highest peak in the Americas is the Aconcagua (6959 m), located in Argentina, about 100 km from Santiago, Chile.

Andes

Andes is the longest mountain chains on the back of the globe, extending without interruption, a distance of 8900 km along the western shores of the continent of South America, and begins in the north coast of the Caribbean, and ends in the South Island Tiradalvoyjo (meaning the land of fire).

This consists of the mountains from several chains moving generally from north to south, and between which a number of plateaus, basins, and mountain ranges further extend from east to west, and is characterized by the chain west of the andes Located on the scope of weakness in the earth's crust, a range borders the all the shores of the Pacific, this was a chain of western mountains prone to violent earthquakes, and volcanic activity.

Although the bone along the Andean mountain ranges offer less normally for three hundred kilometers, yet impenetrable barrier, prevents easy movement between the Pacific Ocean in the west, and the rest of the territory of the continent in the east, but there are a number of passages low in the southern section to allow passage between the Republics of Chile in the west and Alerdjntin in the East.

Increasingly view mountain ranges, and above the peaks in the middle section. This section is characterized by low Omtarh, and free of the plant and lakes, in contrast to the southern part, which is carpeted forests, its lakes abound, and snow cover Qmmh.

The highest peaks of the middle section is a mountain called the "Aconcagua", and a height of slightly less than seven thousand square meters, this mountain is the highest mountains of the Americas, and here there are a number of corridors, but rugged and high, higher than four thousand meters.

The maximum width of the andes in the Republic of Bolivia, where expanding for more than a kilometer, a plateau flat topped mountain a major three series, each consisting of a number of sub-strings, and some of the gaps are filled with water Vtkon many of the lakes. And on the eastern slopes of the Andean bloc in Bolivia are the headwaters of the Amazon.

And above some peaks in Bolivia more than 6500 meters, so covered with ice, which break down and quickly descended on the slopes of these areas when exposed to shocks of earthquakes.
He spoke these collapses destruction of villages and the great plains. Also, when volcanism melts ice by heat rashes, and bear the water hot mud, as happened to the eruption of the volcano "Nevado del Ruiz" in late November 1985, where the buried mud boil the City "Armero" in the Republic of Colombia, and was buried about 23 thousand of the unfortunate people of this city.

In Ecuador, the andes consists of a hill, bordered by chains of volcanic mountains. Include a series of nineteen western volcanoes. Above, some more than 4000 meters, and the series consists of twenty eastern volcanic mountain, rising 4,500 meters and some of the eastern slopes of the mountains here, and abundant rain, covered with tangled forests, high mountains, Pima be barren ground. It covers heavy fog lasting high peaks such as Mount Ruiz volcanic peaks, and a height of six thousand meters, and is still the last revolution of this volcano did not subside.
