=__Andes Mountains:__ =



“These Mountains actually run all along the western coast of South America. These are the longest mountains in the world stretching 4,500 miles and one of the tallest. The Andes are separated into three regions: the southern region, the central region, and the northern region (mongabay). The climate is not the same throughout the length of the Mountains; this is because the northern region is closer to the equator (mongabay). The Andes Mountains are the home for many things including plants and birds. There are also creatures like the mountain lion and the bears that live there. There are even some iguanas that live there. The Andes are being hurt by mankind however. Humans mine for gold and silver and cut down the tree” (mongabay).
