In the northern half of South America, the deserts (Atacama, Sechura) are on the western side of the Andes. In the southern half of the continent, the deserts (Patagonian and Monte) are to the east of the Andes Mountains.
The Andes are not classified as a tundra; they are primarily a mountain range that features a variety of climates and ecosystems, including alpine, desert, and tropical regions. However, at higher elevations, particularly in the northern Andes, you can find tundra-like conditions with cold temperatures and limited vegetation. The term "tundra" specifically refers to a biome characterized by low temperatures and permafrost, which is not a dominant feature of the Andes overall.
Mountain climates are typically found in regions with high elevation, such as the Rockies in North America, the Alps in Europe, the Andes in South America, and the Himalayas in Asia. These climates are characterized by cooler temperatures, greater precipitation, and rapidly changing weather patterns due to the influence of the elevation on atmospheric pressure and temperature.

The weather around the Andes can vary greatly depending on the specific location and elevation. Generally, the Andes experience a range of climates from tropical to polar, with dry conditions prevailing in the western slopes and more rainy conditions on the eastern slopes. The high elevations also create cooler temperatures and the potential for snow at higher altitudes.
The climate to the east of the Andes, particularly in the Amazon Basin, is typically hot and humid, characterized by tropical rainforests and significant rainfall year-round. In contrast, the climate to the west of the Andes, especially along the coast of Chile and Peru, is more arid, with coastal deserts and a Mediterranean climate influenced by the cold Humboldt Current. This stark contrast is primarily due to the rain shadow effect created by the Andes, which blocks moisture-laden winds from reaching the western side.

The 5 tallest volcanoes in the western hemisphere are: Ojos del Salado (Andes Range), Llullaillaco (Andes Range), Nevado Tres Cruces (Andes Range), Pissis (Andes Range), and Monte Pissis (Andes Range).
The main mountain range is the Andes Mountains.
