what is importance of mountain ranges
A major mountain range in Chile is the Andes.
Italy is a mountainous country. The most well-known mountain ranges in Italy are the Alps and the Apennine. The Alps have high, rugged peaks reaching 12,000-feet. The Apennines extend along the length of Italy.
There are only seven continents and hundreds of mountain ranges; that means that there are more mountain ranges than continents. Since every continent contains multiple mountain ranges it is safe to say that there are more mountain ranges than continents.
The three major mountain ranges are the Andes, the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains. Andes mountain ranges are in South America and both of the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains are in North America.
Andes Mountain
Italy has two major mountain ranges. The northern border of Italy is in the Alps. The Apennines run along the length of Italy.

Mountains are not usually measured in length. Mountain ranges, however, are measured this way. You may be thinking of the Trans-Antarctic mountain range, which measures about 3,500 Km in length, and is one of the longest mountain ranges on earth.
The Carpathian Mountains or Carpathians are mountain ranges with an arc form. The mountain ranges are 1,500 km or 932 mi in length.
The major mountain range in Chile is the Andes. The Chilean Coast Range is nearby and parallel along the Pacific coast west of Santiago. Farther south, the Pirulil range includes offshore Chiloé Island.
Since there are two mountain ranges in Chile (the Andes and the Coast range) there are plenty of mountains. The higher mountain (actually is a volcano) is in the Andes mountain range, and it is called 'Ojos del Salado'. It is the highest volcano in the world and the 2nd highest peak in South America at 6,893 metres (22,615 ft).
