Andes Landscape
On the western side it is typically moist. On the east side the Andes is extremely dry. This is where the Alcama desert is located. This is because of rain shadow where the height of the mountains block the passage of the rain cloud.

Reflection
I think the Andes is a mountain range that you can find anything. The Andes mountain is a home to many villages and is very important to the existence of some animals. Also it has a variety of weather along it that affects many places. In my opinion the Andes mountain is very vital to the survival of many people and animals and should not be tempered with. Why I think that is because the Andes shelters many animals and helps us live like it is a border and a home. The Andes is very important.
