Reflection
The Andes Mountains give life and take life. The mountains and forests can provide resources and habitats for animals and plants. Humans can also make big bucks on minerals. But, much of that can be lost if an earthquake or tsunami strikes. The priceless life of a human being could be taken. The Andes Mountains have its pros and cons, and if it was up to us, we would not want to risk our lives to live in a mountain life.
