The Geography of South America

 South America is the fourth largest of the seven continents. South America is roughly triangular in shape with the tip of the triangle at the southernmost point of South America. The northern one-third of South America lies on the equator making the climate hot. The continent is almost completely surrounded by ocean except for its narrow connection in the north with the continent of North America. The Pacific Ocean lies to the west of South America and the Atlantic Ocean makes the eastern border of the continent. The Caribbean Sea, a subdivision of the Atlantic Ocean, makes the northern border.
 Cape Horn is considered to be the southernmost point of South America. The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans meet off the coast of Cape Horn causing some of the roughest sea conditions on earth. Many sailing ships never completed their journey around Cape Horn but modern vessels are better equipped to handle the challenge. The Scotia Sea which lies between Cape Horn and the continent of Antarctica is considered to be partly in the Atlantic Ocean and partly in the Southern Ocean.
 The mighty Amazon River of South America is the second longest river in the world, slightly shorter than the Nile, but the Amazon is the largest river in the world in terms of the size of its drainage basin and the volume of water it carries. The Amazon River, which runs roughly west to east, is an important part of the rainforest ecosystem that dominates the northern areas of South America.
 The Andes Mountains extend for about 4,300 north and south across nearly the entire length of the eastern edge of South America, making the Andes the longest mountain chain on any continent. The Andes are second only to the Himalaya Mountains of Asia in height. Cerro Aconcagua is the highest mountain in the Andes, with a height of 22,841 feet. The Andes are a relatively wide chain of mountains, over 400 miles across at their widest point. However, some the mountains of the Andes are active volcanoes. The areas where tectonic plates meet under the Andes are subject to earthquakes, some of which can be severe

Saturday Classes 2024

Saturday, May 18, 2024 Class 3's                                      COMPREHENSION I dared not stir out of my castle for days, lest some savage should capture me. However, I gained a little courage and went with much dread to make sure that the footprint was not mine. I measured my foot against it. Mine was not nearly so large. A stranger, maybe a savage, must have been on shore, and fear again filled my heart. I determined now to make my house more secure than ever. I built another wall around it, in which I fixed six guns, so that, if need be, I could fire six in two minutes. Then I planted young trees all around. I feared my goats might be hurt or stolen from me, so I fenced round several plots of ground, as much out of sight as possible, and put some goats in each plot. I did all this, while I lived with a terrible fear in my mind that I might one day meet an enemy. I had lived eighteen y...
