THE ANDES MTS

The Andes are much more than a mountain range. Here are some of the reasons why.

WHY THE ANDES ARE IMPORTANT

• It serves as a border
• It has a statue of peace
• Many vehicles cross it everyday

Why do the Andes have so many natural disasters?

The Andes Mountains are home to the world's largest volcano: Nevado Ojos de Salado. Because of this, there are many eruptions there.

OUR REFLECTION

We learned that the Andes Mts are a very important part of South America. We think this because they serve as a border between Chile and Argentina, and hold a statue that represents peace between them. We also learned that it is a very volatile place because of the huge volcano that sits in the Andes. Despite that, we would love to go and visit!
