The "continental backbone" of North America is the Rocky Mountains and of South America is the Andes. However, these are separate mountain ranges, on different tectonic plates.
In the same Continental South America
The South America lead producer is: Peru The world rank: 1
No. The statement is rank prevarication.
The following are four to the largest countries in the world:Russia, Canada, China, United States. Which countries located in South America also rank the ten largest?
The Andes Mountain Range runs the length of South America's western area. It acts to divide the continent completely from north to south.
The territory/land forming the country 'Chile' is located on the west side of the south of the South American continental mass. Therefore by logical deduction it must be in south america.

The continental plate pushed on the right side of South America is the Nazca Plate. This tectonic plate is subducting beneath the South American Plate, which leads to significant geological activity, including the formation of the Andes Mountains and frequent earthquakes in the region. The interaction between these two plates is a key factor in the tectonics of South America.
