摘要

The long, narrow country of Chile stretches 2,672 miles along the western coast of southern South America, comparable to the distance in North America from southern Alaska to the tip of Baja California, yet it is barely 124 miles at its widest point.Part of the Ring of Fire, Chile is seismically active, with a chain of over 125 volcanoes scattered along the country's eastern border formed by the Andes cordillera. The world's tallest active volcano, Nevada Ojos del Salado (22,664 feet), straddles theborder with Argentina, and the continent's highest peak, Cerro Aconcagua (22,831 feet) rises northeast of Santiago, just over the border. The Andes gradually decrease in height south of Santiago to just over 3,281 feet at Tierra del Fuego. The discontinuous Cordillera de la Costa runs the length of the coast, continuing as the coastal islands in the southern part of the country. This coastal range rarely exceeds 5,000 feet, high enough to form a barrier to air and moisture movement inland from the ocean.
