Pls which mountain range is the largest mountain range in the world

The Andes (Andes, Cordillera Delos) (Cichua: Antis) is the longest mountain range on land and the longest mountain range in the world. The western mountains of South America are mostly parallel to each other and run in line with the coast, running through the western part of the South American continent and roughly parallel to the Pacific coast, with its northern branch extending along the Caribbean coast into Trinidad and the southern part to Tierra del Fuego.

It spans Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and other countries, with a total length of about 8,900 kilometers. It is generally about 300 kilometers wide and 800 kilometers wide at its widest point (along 20°S), and consists of a series of parallel mountains and Hengduan Mountains, with plateaus and valleys in between. Most of them are above 3,000 meters above sea level, and there are more than 50 peaks above 6,000 meters, among which Hankouma Mountain is the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere at 7,010 meters above sea level.

Geologically, it is a young folded mountain system. The terrain is complex. The southern section is low and narrow, with broken mountains, developed glaciers, and many glacial lakes; The middle section is the most high, sandwiched by wide mountain plateaus and deep valleys, and is the birthplace of Inca culture; The northern part of the mountain range is a strip-like branch, with wide valleys and lowlands interspersed.

Volcanic, frequent. The Tupungato volcano, at 6,800 meters above sea level, is the highest active volcano in the world. It is the birthplace of the most important rivers in South America.

The climate and vegetation types are complex and diverse, rich in forest resources and important mineral deposits such as copper, tin, silver, gold, platinum, science, zinc, bismuth, vanadium, tungsten, saltpeter and so on. There are many passes in the mountains, and there is a transcontinental railway passing through it.

The Andes Mountains, with a total length of about 9,000 kilometers, are the longest mountains in the world, with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, and the main peak, Mount Aconcagua, with an altitude of 6,960 meters, is the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere.

The Andes Mountains are the longest mountain range in the world! The Himalayas are the highest mountain ranges in the world!

The Andes Mountains in South America are on the Pacific coast.

The Andes Mountains of the Americas are more than 9,000 kilometers long.

1. The highest and most majestic mountain range in the world is the Himalayas.

2. The Himalayas stretch for more than 2,400 kilometers from east to west and about 200,300 kilometers wide from north to south. With an average altitude of 6,000 meters, it is the most majestic mountain in the world. There are 40 peaks above 7,000 meters above sea level, 10 peaks included in the number of 8,000 meters (as of 1997, there are only 14 peaks above 8,000 meters in the world), and the main peak Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world.

The highest mountain range is the Himalayas, which are made up of many parallel mountain ranges with an average elevation of more than 6,000 meters, which is higher than the highest peak in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895 meters above sea level), making it the highest mountain range in the world. The Himalayas are located at the edge of the southern peak of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is the natural boundary mountain of the East Asian continent and the South Asian subcontinent, and is also the natural border between China and India, Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan and other countries, from the Nanga Parbat Peak of Kashmir in the west to the Nanga Bhava Peak at the big bend of the Brahmaputra River in the east, with a total length of 2450km and a width of 200 350km.

Forming history. The Himalayas were formed by the collision of the Indo-Australian plate with the Eurasian plate. The Indian plate is still moving northward at a rate of more than 5 centimeters per year, the Himalayas are still rising, and it is also in the tectonic zone of plate boundary collision**.

According to geological investigations, as early as 2 billion years ago, the vast area of the Himalayas was a vast ocean, called the ancient Mediterranean, which experienced a long geological period, and lasted until the end of the Cenozoic early Tertiary period 30 million years ago, when the crustal movement in this area, the general trend was continuous decline, and in the process of decline, the basin was piled up to 30,000 meters thick marine sedimentary rock layers. By the end of the Early Tertiary period, a strong orogeny in the earth's crust, known geologically as the "Himalayan Movement", caused the region to gradually uplift and form the most majestic mountain range in the world. Geological expeditions have shown that the tectonic movement of the Himalayas has not yet ended, and only after the Quaternary glaciation it rose by another 1300 to 1500 metres.

It's still slowly rising.
