Useful Information about the Andes Mountains

The Andes Mountains are positioned in South America, running from north to south along the western coast of the continent. The latitude is 10° N. to 57° S. The longitude is 70° W. to 80° E.
The Andes Mountains are the longest and one of the highest mountain ranges in the world. They are located in South America and stretch 4,500 miles from north to south, along the west coast of the continent.

The Andes are separated into three natural regions: the southern, central, and northern regions. In the northern region, it is hotter because it is closest to the equator. There are rain forests in this region, due to the more humid, rainy climate. In the southern region, the mountains are nearer to the Antarctic and it is much colder. It is not very populated in the southern area.
Many of the plants which grow in the Andes Mountains are small in size to save energy. Their leaves can be stiff and strong to protect them from frost and cold weather if they are high in the mountains.

The Andes Mountains provide many birds with homes like the Flamingo, Andean Flicker, the Condor, and the Hillstar Hummingbird. Types of land animals include the Mountain Lion, the Red Perll, and Llamas to name a few. The Spectacled Bear also lives here. The Giant Toad and Andean Iguana are some examples of reptiles. This iguana is one of the few lizards found in that cold weather.
