The Andes mountains are very large.Bolivia is a landlocked country
The Andes act as a barrier to moisture coming from either the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans, forming rain shadow deserts.
The Andes are the longest continuous mountain range on dry land and stretch more than 4300 miles through seven countries in South America.
All along the west and south coasts of South America, the Andes are a barrier to movement in interior. As a result, more settlement in South America has occurred along the eastern and northern coasts.
The Andes mountain range separates the Neotropical ecozone to the east and the Nearctic ecozone to the west in the western hemisphere. The Andes act as a significant barrier, influencing climate and species distribution in these two distinct ecozones.
The Andes Mountains are primarily responsible for the Atacama Desert. The mountains form a barrier to moisture from the Atlantic Ocean from crossing, forming a rain shadow desert.
