The Andes Mountains as a Single Line
■■■■■
Some people recall the Andes as a singular, continuous, unbroken mountain range, rather than the complex system of parallel ridges and plateaus it truly is.
●
What People Remember
People remember the Andes as a single, uniform ridge running down South America.
◉
What's Actually True
The Andes are a vast system of mountain ranges, often forming parallel chains (cordilleras) and intermontane plateaus, not a single, continuous ridge.
