The Andes Mountains Of Bolivia

Once on a farm in rural England there lived a boy named Jack. He lived on this farm with his mother. They were poor and the only thing they had was a cow. With no money they still needed to buy food.

The geography of Bolivia is unique among the nations of South America. Bolivia is one of two landlocked countries on the continent (the other being Paraguay), and Bolivia is more urban (67%) than rural (23%). The main features of Bolivia's geography include the Altiplano, a highland plateau of the Andes, and Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake on Earth, which is shared with Peru.

The Appalachian Mountains are a mountain range in the eastern part of North America. The origin of the mountain ranges name came about when “Spanish explorer Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca and his crew were exploring the Florida coast in 1528, they found a Native American town with a name they transliterated as Apalachen. The word ‘Apalachen’ was also applied to an inland mountain range, and through the course of time it became applied to the entire range and its spelling was changed” (“Appalachian Mountains”).

When World War two was going down, the war made them want to enlist into the war. When winter came, Gene and his friends had to clean the railroads for the trains to continue their trip to war. But when they were cleaning the snow up, they didn’t know that the trains were loads with troops. While they were cleaning, gene and his friends were thinking really hard, cause they seen the troops on the train and that got them thinking big time. His friend leper had enlisted for the war, but he had went crazy cause of all the stress he had, so that mad Gene unlisted for the war.

The Appalachian Mountains were formed an estimated 480 million years ago, being one of the first plate collisions constructing the supercontinent Pangea. During the Paleozoic Era, the region was submerged, layers of sediment and carbonate rock began to form on top of the already submerging sea bottom. In the Ordovician Period, the Appalachian passive margin evolved into a plate boundary when another plate collided with and sank the North American plate, creating the Appalachians. The Mountains continued to form as volcanoes grew, plate collisions, all while the supercontinent formed. Pangea began its separation 220 million years ago, halting the creation of many mountain ranges. The Appalachian Mountains had almost flattened completely out,

Did you know that 1 out of 100 people in Bolivia have a car? Bolivia is not a rich country, in fact is it the poorest country in South America. Bolivia is a very interesting country, because of its Land,Weather, its people, and its animals.

For the fault zone that I chose to research for this project, I chose the Peru-Chile Trench, also known as the Chile Subduction Megathrust and as the Atacama Trench. It is called that because the area between Peru and Chile is called "The Atacama", and such was the plate named. The Peru-Chile trench is located along the western coast of Peru and Chile. It marks the zone where the Nazca plate is being subducted beneath the South American plate and is approximately 3,666 miles long. (Britannica, p.1)

With a thousand miles of coast to the North and eight-hundred miles of coast to the West, Colombia has some of the most beautiful beaches. On the North side is the Caribbean Sea and the West Pacific Ocean. Although, we know it as Colombia its original name is Republica de Colombia (Kline, Harvey). You may think, that is a Spanish name, well you are correct. Colombia is named after nun other than Christopher Columbus. Colombia is a originally a colony of Spain, therefore, taking all of the Spanish language, religion, and cultures (Kline, Harvey). Although, it is known as a Spanish country their minorities consist of European and African ancestry. Therefore, a lot of their geography is based off of this.

One day there was a family named the Bob family. In that family, there was the father named Bill, a mother named Charm, and the son, who is their kid, named is Bill Jr. When they got done eating breakfast and cleaned up the silverware, they started to head outside their house. The dad and son went to go hunt for deer and turkey to eat for dinner, while the mother picked corn,beans,wheat, and peas with a few other crops out of the nearby field that they owned. Then, after all that was done they sat around the table and ate dinner that the dad and son shot and with some food that the mom picked in the nearby field, then they washed up and went to

Bolivia is a large South American country. Bolivia’s capitals are La Paz and Sucre, and they are located near the famous site Valle de la Luna, or Valley of the Moon. This is a natural landmark in western Bolivia. To honor the Aymara gods, Bolivians hold a festival called the Aymara New Year, Winter Solstice, on June 21.

Though Bolivia is rich in resources, it is one of the poorest countries and least developed countries in South America with 50 percent of its population below the poverty line. Bolivia’s economy is based on agriculture, foresting, fishing, mining, and manufacturing goods. Bolivia has become dependent on its non-fuel materials to strengthen its economy. Bolivia’s economic freedom score is 46.8 making it the 163rd freest in the 2013 index. Bolivia is ranked 26th out of 29 countries in the South and Central American regions and its overall score is far below the world and regional averages.

Based on the demographic profile in CIA World Factbook, Bolivia is one of the poorest countries in Latin America. Their quality of life is poor because of lack of healthcare, poor education, life expectancy, malnutrition, among other factors. They have a very high income inequality rate. Bolivia lacks basic needs like clean air and water. Educational opportunities are very limited. Bolivians have to leave home to find work, there are very few opportunities in Bolivia. There is one small bright-spot, children are being vaccinated at a higher rate.

Bolivia is a Latin country that is in the middle of South American . This country is surrounded by the bordering Latin countries of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Peru. Bolivia is a rather “highland” region, in which is referred to as Altiplano. The mountain areas are referred to as Cordilleras. In research, I found that the Altiplano are extremely higher than sea level. The southern part of Bolivia is mostly salt “flats” and desert like areas. In the eastern parts of the country are where the cities are located and also where the more farm like areas are. The climates of Bolivia vary around the country in which are different depending on the altitudes . Bolivia’s weather can go from hot to extremely cold; this is due to the various elevations throughout the country. In the Altiplano it is rather nippy throughout the entire year. The temperatures fluctuate throughout the season and the days.For the country summer is from December through February. The lowlands are mostly tropical; hot ,wet, then dry. The highlands barely get and rain while the lowlands are basically saturated and flooded. The rivers of Bolivia , for the most part flow upward. The animals of Bolivia are mainly primates .Rio Beni Titi is the monkey of Bolivia that is only found in this country.The size of Bolivia is said to be a little smaller than the size of the United States of America’s state, Montana.

In South America the physical geography has changed the region's culture in many ways.The Physical geography of South America is hot, there is mountains and many other features. One of the Physical features is the Andes Mountains which is the home to Chile’s National Bird. It has helped create culture by it is used for security. It protects them from invaders because it would be a hard long journey to go to through the mountains.

The major landforms of Chile are arranged as three parallel north–south units: the Andes mountains to the east; the intermediate depression, or longitudinal valley, in the centre; and the coastal ranges to the west. These landforms extend lengthwise through the five latitudinal geographic regions into which the country is customarily subdivided. From north to south, with approximate boundaries, these are Norte Grande (extending to 27° S); the north-central region, Norte Chico (27° to 33° S); the central region, Zona Central (33° to 38° S); the south-central region, La Frontera and the Lake District (38° to 42° S); and the extreme southern region, Sur (42° S to Cape Horn).
