The Andes mountains are classified as a young, fold mountain range. They were formed primarily through the tectonic activity associated with the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate. This process has resulted in significant geological features, including high peaks and deep valleys, making the Andes one of the longest and highest mountain ranges in the world. Additionally, they are characterized by a diverse range of ecosystems due to their varied elevation and climate.
