Give Reasons-
1) The Andes are young fold mountains.
2) The Amazon Rivers is an important waterway of South America.
3) The Atacama is a desert.
4) The Patagonia is a cold desert.
5) The Andes lies in the belt of the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Answers
Answer:
1)The Himalayasare known as the young fold mountains because they have been formed only few million years ago. They were formed because of thefolding of the earth's crust due to tectonic activity (fold mountains are formed when two tectonic plates collide with one another).
2)The Amazon is well known for a number of reasons. It is the greatest river of South America and the largest drainage system in the world in terms of the volume of its flow and the area of its basin. ... The Amazon is also famous for the rainforest found along its shores.
3)This cold ocean current cools the air above it. Cold air can't hold as much water vapor as warm air so it dries out any water left in the air. This mix of mountains, winds, and ocean currents combines to make the Atacama incredibly dry. The Atacama is also one of the oldest deserts in the world.
4)It's the largest coldest desert was the temperate largely exceeds the 12 degrees and has seven months of winter and five-month of the summer and as due to this the frost is it found and the snow is rare as it remains dry through the year as the desert has westerly winds that stop the moisture from the south pacific to
5)Subduction of oceanic lithosphere . Most of the Earth's volcanoes are located around the Pacific Ring of Fire because that the location of most of the Earth's subduction zones. A subduction zone is a place where one plate of oceanic lithosphere (= the crust + uppermost mantle ) is shoved under another plate.
Answer:
1..The rugged, soaring heights of the Himalayas, Andes, and Alps are all active fold mountains.
2.The Amazon is well known for a number of reasons. It is the greatest river of South America and the largest drainage system in the world in terms of the volume of its flow and the area of its basin. ... The Amazon is also famous for the rainforest found along its
3.The Atacama Desert is a desert plateau in South America covering a 1,600 km strip of land on the Pacific coast, west of the Andes Mountains.
4.The Patagonian Desert is the largest of the 40° parallel and is a large cold winter desert, where the temperature rarely exceeds 12 °C and averages just 3 °C. The region experiences about seven months of winter and five months of summer.
5.The Ring of Fire is the result of plate tectonics. Much of the volcanic activity occurs along subduction zones, which are convergent plate boundaries where two tectonic plates come together. The heavier plate is shoved (or subducted) under the other plate.
