The Andes emerged as a result of plate formed during the era of modern life, nearly 65 million years started to arise as a result of geological activity which has occurred, prior to about 250 million years of tectonic plates joined to form the land area currently but initially the giant continent broken up later.
Many of the rocks that make up the Andean mountain chain at present is already years formed large, and consisted of pressures, and metamorphic temperature and switching to different forms and types from sandstone, silt stone, limestone, respectively, switched to quartz, shale, and marble.

Across the Andes is variable and depends on the width and height, terrain, precipitation patterns, and the proximity of the ocean too, and the Andes are divided into three regions North of the Andes, Central Andes and southern Andes, and within each region there are a lot of differences in climate and their locations, for example the Andes in Northern Venezuela and Colombia are usually hot and humid locations include tropical forests and cloud forests, either from the middle of the Andes mountains, which extend through Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia is more unequal in terms of seasonal climate of the Andes, found sandwiched between the dry season and the rainy season, southern Andes are divided into two areas of Chile and Argentina, the climate there is dry and wet it.

These are some of the animals that live in the Andes:
* Alpacas: Alpacas is a domesticated species, mammals and it belongs to the family of camel, and alpacas is considered indigenous to South America, and is kept in herds inhabiting the high plateaux and Highlands in Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador, northern Chile, and usually fed hay and alpacas on grass.
* Short-tailed Chinchilla Chinchilla: short tail is a type of rodent, and the remains of this kind one of only two species of Chinchilla that's still alive today, and the other type is the long-tailed Chinchilla, weshinshila short tail is actually endangered species extinction, these rodents in areas of Central and southern Andes, but regrettably, this species is exploited heavily in search of fur, and as a result, their numbers have dropped dramatically, it is currently classified as a Chinchilla Short tail within the endangered animals.
* Cat Andes: Andean mountain cat is a kitten who inhabit the mountainous regions of Central Andes, Andean mountain cat is of extremely rare animals, to less than 2500 remaining cat in the wild.
* The Titicaca water frog: Titicaca water frog is a frog is threatened with extinction, and is basically settle in Titicaca Lake, Titicaca water frog was on the scene for some time, even have decreased by over fishing, pollution and predation by trout introduced into the Lake.
* Andean Goose: Goose Andes are these large goose feather feature black and white and pink skin, legs and feet understanding they be colored in Orange, and the Andean Highland goose from the Andes, where they remain above 9800 feet in Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile.
