Andes

The South American Plate and the Nazca Plate are the two plates that converge to form the Andes mountain range. The Nazca Plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, leading to the uplift of the Andes through volcanic activity and compression.

Lipids are broadly defined as molecules that are hydrophobic (insoluble in water) or ampiphilic (possessing both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties). Phospholipids are a subgroup of ampiphilic lipids which contain a negatively charged phosphate group.

Weather in Bolivia is generally dry and cold, owing to its extreme elevation. However, the lower rain forest region is generally much wetter and warmer. Since the country is very high up, breathing may be difficult for the first few weeks of your stay.

The Andes are an extension of the North American Rocky Mountains and the South American mountains that continue up through Central America.

Plate tectonics explain the formation of mountains by mountain chains may form where plates move together. As plates move apart, magma may rise to the surface, forming a volcano.

The name of the lake is Lake Titicaca. It is one of the highest navigable lakes in the world, located in the Andes Mountains at an elevation of 12,507 feet above sea level.

(1) Himalayas -- Convergent between continental-continental collision of Indo-Australian and Eurasian plates.

(2) Aleutian islands -- Convergent between oceanic-oceanic collision of Pacific plate beneath North American plate.

(3) Andes Mountains -- Convergent between oceanic-continental collision of Pacific plate beneath South American plate.

(4) San Andreas Fault (Zone) -- Transform boundary (sometimes called a conservative boundary) between Pacific and North American plates.

(5) Iceland -- Divergent boundary along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge arm of the Mid-Ocean Ridge, separating North America to the west and Eurasia to the east. *Also* a large hot spot, which is what brought Iceland to the surface, rather than remaining undersea.

(6) Japan -- Convergent boundary between Pacific plate beneath North American plate (yes, Japan is on the North American plate).

(7) Mount St. Helens -- Convergent boundary between Juan de Fuca beneath North Americna plate.

Convergent boundaries build mountains (technically divergent do too, but no one ever thinks about them -- but they're lots and lots of small volcanoes)

Continental-continental --> crust slams together like two buses, neither plate can subduct, rock squirts up and out, you get the Himalayas (Indo-Australian and Eurasia)

Oceanic-oceanic --> crust meets and the older, denser, cooler one subducts. It reaches a depth that it melts, the new magma rises to the surface, pops out as a volcanic lava flow. Thousands of flows later, you have dry volcanic islands poking out of the surface. Because this is happening along a plane, you get a whole chain - an volcanic island arc like the Aleutians (Pacific plate below North American plate)

Oceanic-continental --> crust meets and the oceanic will *always* subduct. Just like oceanic-oceanic, it melts and rises and pops out, but this time on a dry continental surface. Again, thousands of flows later, you have a volcano. Again, as it's on a plane, you get a whole mountain range.

The plateau located in southern Argentina between the Andes mountains and the Atlantic Ocean is called the Patagonian Plateau. It is characterized by vast expanses of steppe grasslands, low mountain ranges, and semi-arid conditions.

People vist the Andes for the culture and fun of it. They have people out there that like cold, snowy weather, and live for the thrill of being and outdoors man.They also want to see the Andes! Another fact is that you can meet cute men!!!

No, the Amazon River flows through the Amazon Rainforest and into the Atlantic Ocean, not the Pacific Ocean. The Andes mountain range is located to the west of the Amazon basin but the river does not flow through it.

They were pushed up from the earth underneath in the ages of the Continental drift. Two masses of land colliding together will make for extra terrain to seep up through the cracks forming mountains

The so-called Japanese Alps run the full length of Honshu, the main island of Japan. The ball park estimate for their length is something on the order of 1,000 miles. This "spine" roughly bisects Honshu along its length, and is divided into three moderately distinct regions. From north to south, they are the Hida, the Kiso and the Akaishi Mountains. You might want a link, and you've got one below.

Aconcagua is a mountain located in the Republic of Argentina. Aconcagua is not a volcano, though this is a widespread misconception. This mountain is the highest point in the Andes.

Literally, it is a granite monolith...pretty solid inside and lacks an atmosphere. I guess as close as you can get is: Dry, with 0% humidity, and not much wind and pretty much a stable 63 or so degrees depending on how far inside you go. :)

The Andes mountains play a significant role in shaping South America's climate by influencing factors such as temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns. They act as a barrier that blocks moisture-laden air, leading to the formation of rain shadows and different climate zones on either side of the mountain range. The mountains also contribute to the formation of unique ecosystems and biodiversity.

its the thing and then it does like yeah thats the answer.

facts about canyons any canyons i just need the answer

Ismail Samani in Tajikistan, Illimani in Bolivia and Illampu in Bolivia are all major mountains over 6,000 meters (20,000 feet) in height.

Your question is confusing, but Mount Everest is the highest mountain, and it's in the Himalayas in Asia.

The Himalayas are the highest mountain range. They're not in any one country, it spans over Afghanistan, China, India, Pakistan, and Nepal.

Mount Everest is in Tibet.

Hope I helped. :]

Actually the tallest mountain on earth is Mauna Kea, in Hawaii. When you measure from the base to the peak, it is more than 4000 ft taller then Mount Everest. However, the mountain starts on the ocean floor, so you can see most of it, unless underwater.

Depending on whether you are talking about British football, which is soccer, or American football, which is probable, the history behind American football is that Rugby, which is played in most British schools, was the basis for someone at Harvard back in the 19th century to come up with a game with similar rules to be played at this college.

The Tees is a river in Northern England is 85 miles long and rises on the eastern slope of Cross Fell in the Pennines and flows to the North Sea between Hartlepool and Redcar. At one point the infant Tees is only about 50 yards or so from its South Tyne brother - but flowing already in different directions!

there are lamas small cat s that has a long tail and a noblella pygmaea which is a small frog

The Andes Mountains, even though they are very tall, do not compare with the Himalayas,
