What is Argentinas land like?

Answer 1

Argentina is divided into seven geographical regions:

• Northwest, a continuation of the high Puna with even higher, more rugged topography to the far-west; the arid precordillera, filled with narrow valleys or quebradas to the mid-west; and an extension of the mountainous Yungas jungles to the east.
• Mesopotamia, a subtropical wedge covering the western Paraná Plateau and neighboring lowlands enclosed by the Paraná and Uruguay rivers.
• Gran Chaco, a large, subtropical and tropical low-lying, gently sloping alluvial plain between Mesopotamia and the Andes.
• Sierras Pampeanas, a series of medium-height mountain chains located in the center.
• Cuyo, a basin and range area in the central Andes piedmont, to the west.
• Pampas, a massive and hugely fertile alluvial plain located in the center east.
• Patagonia, a large southern plateau consisting mostly of arid, rocky steppes to the east; with moister cold grasslands to the south and dense subantarctic forests to the west.
