    Explanation
    The Andes is a mountain range that spans several countries in South America, including Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. It is known for its diverse and unique ecosystems, which support a wide variety of animal species. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that a significant number of animal species would be found in the Andes. The answer of 1000 species seems plausible and falls within a reasonable range considering the size and biodiversity of the region.

    What's the average height of the range? - ProProfs

    What's the average height of the range?

    • 3000 km

    • 4000 km

    • 5000 km

    • 7000 km

    Correct Answer
    A. 4000 km
    Explanation
    The average height of the range can be calculated by adding up the heights of all the points in the range and dividing it by the total number of points. In this case, we are given four options for the height of the range: 3000 km, 4000 km, 5000 km, and 7000 km. Since we are asked for the average height, we need to consider all the options and find the average. The correct answer is 4000 km, which means that the average height of the range is 4000 km.
