ELEVATION ZONES OF THE ANDES

MOUNTAINS

TIERRA NEVADA

  • From snow line to tops of peaks
  • Not inhabited
  • Glaciers

Different elevations determine

different climates

FIVE ZONES

TIERRA HELADA

  • Tierra Caliente
  • Tierra Templada
  • Tierra Fria
  • Tierra Helada
  • Tierra Nevada

Why?

Solar energy and gravity

  • 12,000-15,000 ft
  • 20-50 degrees
  • Cold, windy, often freezes
  • Snow line upper edge
  • Shrubs and hardy grasses
  • Few people
  • Herders (llama & alpaca)
  • Mines

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

  • Why is adaptation important for humans in the Andes?

TIERRA FRIA

  • 6,000-12,000 ft
  • Much of the central Andes
  • 55-65 degrees, cold nights
  • Mountains and valleys
  • Altiplano plateau
  • Vegetations depends on rainfall
  • Tree line
  • Warm clothes, adobe
  • Body adaptations
  • Terracing

How do the differences in climate/altitude affect where people live?

TIERRA TEMPLADA

  • 3,000-6,000 ft
  • Temperate climate, 65-75 degrees
  • "Land of Eternal Spring"
  • From tropical plants to broadleaf evergreen forests
  • More populated
  • Flowers, coffee
  • Homes of concrete, brick, plaster
  • Haciendas

What if someone moved from the Tierra Caliente to the Tierra Fria, or vice versa?

TIERRA CALIENTE

  • Sea level to 3,000 ft
  • 75-80 degrees
  • Hot and humid
  • From evergreen forests, to tropical grasslands, to desert
  • Less population
  • Bananas, rice, sugar cane
  • Houses that cool easily in the breeze
  • Bamboo or wood, some on stilts

Predict what you think will happen if the climate in this entire region warms?

Will this be a big deal for the people and environment of this area?
