Are all considered the major mountain ranges of Mexico containing the highest peaks.

There are more than two, but the most important include the Sierra Madre Oriental and Sierra Madre Occidental mountain ranges.

• Sierra Madre del Sur

Mexico has four major chains of mountains;

The Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (or Sierra Nevada) runs for 550 miles east-west across central Mexico and contains the eight tallest mountains in Mexico including the 18,490 ft peak of Pico de Orizaba, the highest in Mexico and the third highest in North America.

The Sierra Madre del Sur runs for 600 miles along the south-west coast and contains six of the top 25 mountains in Mexico, including Cerro Nube Flan, the 12th tallest peak at 12,303 ft.

The Sierra Madre Oriental runs for 600 miles down the east coast and contains four of the top 25 mountains, including Cerro San Rafael, the 14th tallest peak at 12,139 ft.

The Sierra Madre Occidental runs for 900 miles from southern Arizona along the west coast of Mexico and includes Cerro Gordo, the 24th tallest peak in Mexico at 10,991 ft.

Three ranges exist: * On the western coast is Sierra Madre Occidental * On the eastern side is Sierra Madre Oriental * and on the southern is Sierra Madre del Sur.

It is the Pico de Orizaba, the seventh tallest mountain in the world, with 5,636 metres (18,490 ft) of height. Coordinates: 19° 1' 48'' N, 97° 16 '12'' W

* Sierra Madre del Sur. * Sierra Madre Oriental. * Sierra Madre Occidental.

Answer 3

Located atop three tectonic plates (North American, Pacific and Cocos Plates), Mexico is one of the most geologically active regions of Earth. This has resulted in a varied topography, which includes the three Sierra Madre mountain ranges, the Mexican Altiplano (or Central Mexican Plateau) and the flat lands of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Following are some of Mexico's most well known mountains:

1. Pico de Orizaba (5636 m / 18,491 ft)
2. Popocatepetl (5410 m / 17,749 ft)
3. Iztaccihuatl (5230 m / 17,159 ft)
4. Nevado de Toluca (4690 m / 15,387 ft)
5. Malinche Volcano (4430 m / 14,534 ft)
6. Colima Volcano (4270 m / 14,009 ft)
7. Cofre de Perote (4200 m / 13,780 ft)
8. Tacana Volcano (4067 m / 13,343 ft)
9. Ajusco (3930 m / 12,894 ft)
10. Tancitaro Volcano (3840 m / 12,598 ft)
